Behind the numbers (Forbes):
"The vast majority of millennials and Gen Zers say they’ve picked up financial advice from social media. But where do they most often obtain financial information? Millennials favor Reddit, while Gen Zers prefer YouTube. Nearly 7 in 10 of those surveyed (69%) encounter financial advice on social media at least once a week, and 1 in 4 stumble upon it every day.""As you’re browsing social media platforms, a flurry of financial topics pop up, such as stock and bond tips (the most common topic spotted by survey respondents, at 57%), recommendations about debt reduction or guidance on retirement savings. The two least commonly seen topics among those we surveyed were get-rich-quick schemes (11%) and borrowing money (7%)."
