Still taking financial advice from the baby boomers’ generation?

Freelancers - listen with caution!

We’ve all been advised from our parents' generation. Some good, some bad, some we listen to and, more often, some we don’t. One area in particular where this advice seems to be the same is around money and careers.

I’m sure you have heard the following over the years:

Get a degree
Get a good job
Work your way up
Work hard so you can retire
Don’t get a credit card
Freelancing? Don’t you think you should get a proper job?
Don’t spend money on xyz

Or even specific financial advice such as:

Property is the best investment I’ve ever made
Buy a house straight away and spend as much as you can afford
Renting is like throwing money away
Don’t invest in the stock market - it’s just gambling
Save into your pension
