BY HAL M. BUNDRICK NERDWALLET

The pandemic has caused many people to reassess their priorities. There is talk of mov- ing out of the city, simplifying life and saving more money. “I’m not going to spend money like that anymore,” my millen- nial daughter told me recently, talking about past shopping sprees on handbags, jewelry, and yes, lattes. “Financial secu- rity is fun now.” This from the same person who, until recently, has annual- ly paid to upgrade to the latest version of smartphone ever since she purchased her first Juicy Couture Sidekick back in 2005. But, as usual, my daughter alerted me to a growing trend. DEVELOPING NEW FINANCIAL GOALS In an annual survey, consum- er research firm The Family Room LLC identifies prevailing trends in more than 150 psycho- logical drivers.
