Through Primerica, Kirkland and his partners own a small financial brokerage firm aimed to help and educate millennials and young people on how money works, and more importantly how it can work for them. In addition to their website, www.youthfulwealth.com, they began hosting Millennial Mondays, a monthly networking event. They developed Millennial Mondays to bring our fellow millennials together and to create an environment of encouragement so people can follow their dreams. We learned that people in our age bracket, 18-30 y/o, don’t really want to work like our parents did because we aren’t perceiving that as success. So we help people reach their career goals along with financial goals through our monthly networking events.
