Generational shifts are reshaping what success means. For Millennials and Gen Z, socio-economic hurdles have made traditional milestones like homeownership or starting a family feel out of reach. Frustration has given rise to a new paradigm, one that values well-being, fulfilment, and sustainability over materialism.
Rather than striving for ‘more’, many young consumers are embracing a ‘good enough’ lifestyle, focusing on freelance work, entrepreneurship, and creative pursuits in the passion economy. Aspirations now centre on sustainability and personal meaning, reflecting a world grappling with environmental and social challenges.
Brands can respond by:
→ Celebrating life’s small pleasures with experiences and products that make everyday indulgences meaningful.
→ Redefining success with flexible offerings in banking, insurance, and housing that suit unpredictable incomes and nomadic lifestyles.
