Retiring Early on Side Hustles: How Gen Z is Redefining Work and Retirement

Gen Z expects to retire earlier than other generations, at age 61, but is most concerned about having enough savings despite side hustles.

Gen Z is very open to seeking financial advice, especially from family/friends and 401(k) plans, but also social media.

Gen Z is more willing than other generations to forgo raises for better benefits and flexible work arrangements.

Gen Z is embracing freelance work and side hustles that can turn into careers more than older workers.

Gen Z is contributing 10% or more of income to 401(k) plans, a good start to retirement savings.
