Millennials value vacation above job

NEW YORK

Millennials want more vacation and time for themselves away from the job than young people did 30 years ago, and they also value compensation more, according to a recent study.

That may be setting them up for intense disappointments in today’s labor market.

Those born starting in the early 1980s put a bigger emphasis on time away from work than previous generations.

They’re slightly less likely to say that work should be “a very central part” of one’s life.

Money leads reasons why US couples fight

NEW YORK

Money is the leading reason American couples fight. But most people don’t start disagreeing about finances until after they’re engaged or married, according to author and money coach Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, the love-and-money expert for online payment service PayPal.

There are those who like to plan, budget and account for every purchase they make.

Then there are those who click a pop-up ad at work and five minutes later are booking a vacation for two to the Bahamas, says Khalfani-Cox.

It doesn’t necessarily spell doom or foreshadow a relationship’s end if you find you’re complete opposites when it comes to handling your wallet.

“It’s very common for a saver to be paired up with someone who is a spender and likes the finer things in life,” she says.

“You’ve just got to be sure to understand why they are that way and play to each other’s strengths to reduce financial stress instead of letting it become a point of contention.”
