Millenials and money: Financial planners reach out to new generation of investors

Renee Cordes

While most millennials are still in the phase of creating wealth, their aggregated global net worth is projected to more than double between 2015 and 2020 up to an estimated $24 trillion, according to a Deloitte report. It's just one reason wealth managers are starting to focus on millennials. Another? More than two-thirds of wealth managers' clients today are over age 60.

What's your mode of transportation for Thanksgiving?
Poll Description

Sponsored by Kennebunk Savings Bank

For many, Thanksgiving means gathering with family and friends. It can also mean travel headaches.

AAA predicts a record 81.8 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday, Nov. 25, and Monday, Dec. 1. 

Of those travelers, 73 million will go by car — up 1.3 million from a year ago.  

With the federal shutdown resolved, air travel is expected to be back at normal levels — although, in this case, it will mean normal Thanksgiving levels. AAA predicts that 6 million people will travel by air, a 2% increase. (Last year, Portland International Jetport broke its Thanksgiving travel record, with 64,348 travelers, up from 54,636 in 2023.) 

Another 2.5 million people will travel by bus, train or cruise ship.
