GEN-Z.🧃 Who are they!? Here’s a quick breakdown of what defines Gen Z:

Generation Z—often called Gen Z, Zoomers, or the iGeneration—refers to people born roughly between 1997 and 2012. They’re the first true digital natives, growing up with smartphones, social media, and streaming content as part of everyday life.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what defines Gen Z:

• Grew up with the internet, mobile tech, and social platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram.

• Prefer short-form, visual content and anonymous or ephemeral communication.

🧠 Social Awareness & Mental Health

• More open about anxiety, depression, and therapy than previous generations.

💸 Financial Attitudes
