How Gen Z Traded God for Mammon

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, hosts Jonathan and Amanda break down a shocking study: Gen Z believes they need $587,797 per year and a $9.5 million net worth to feel financially successful. But is this just youthful ambition, or a sign of deeper cultural and economic shifts?

They explore the real forces shaping Gen Z’s financial expectations, including social media, economic instability, and shifting generational perspectives on wealth. More importantly, they unpack what Catholic financial stewardship teaches about true success—and how young Catholics can align their financial goals with faith and purpose.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on money, security, and the real meaning of financial success—plus practical steps for discerning how much is enough in your own life.
