Young adults aren’t saving much…but they’re not all that worried about it. So says analysis from the online company LearnVest, which examined the spending habits and levels of confidence of 100,000 of its users.

According to LearnVest, users under the age of 25—many of whom were hit hard by the recession, save very little and make less than their older, more established counterparts—have higher confidence in their economic futures than older folks who earn and save more. People in their 30s and 40s are particularly pessimistic. (The Atlantic)
