The Charlotte Ledger Podcast - Facing Your Financial Fears: Millennials

For millennials, adulthood comes with no shortage of financial decisions. Between buying a home, paying off debt, raising children, saving for retirement and helping aging parents, figuring out where to put your money — and what to prioritize — can feel overwhelming. In this special episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, recorded live Oct. 14, 2026, at the Mint Museum in uptown Charlotte, three financial experts tackle some of the biggest money questions facing adults ages 30 to 45 as part of The Ledger's four-part “Facing Your Financial Fears (https://www.thecharlotteledger.com/fi...) ” series. The conversation features Gray Dyer, founder of Charlotte-based financial planning and wealth management firm Dyer & Company; Caroline Hawkins, a financial planning associate at Dyer & Company; and DeMia Johnson, a financial relationship banker at Huntington Bank. Together, they break down some of millennials' biggest financial questions, from navigating mortgage rates and paying off debt to saving for children's education, planning for retirement and making smart investments. Special thanks to Dyer & Company, our event partner, and sponsors Huntington Bank, the Mint Museum and Caregiving Corner for making this event possible. This episode was produced by Raizdeen Mohamed.
