Gen Z is breaking one of the most deeply rooted social taboos by openly discussing salaries, spending limits and personal finances online.
The Wall Street Journal's Free Expression associate editor Mary Julia Koch joined FOX Business’ Ashley Webster on " Varney & Co. " to discuss loud budgeting and why younger Americans are increasingly willing to make once-private financial conversations public.
The trend encourages people to be transparent about what they can and cannot afford, often by sharing budgets, financial goals or decisions to skip expensive plans on social media .
It comes as many young adults face high living costs, uncertainty in the labor market and growing pressure to make financially responsible choices.
"I think my generation is more open about everything.
I mean, we've grown up posting online, our relationships, our friendships, our college lives.
It makes sense that this is sort of the next frontier where people are documenting their budgets and their financial lives," Koch said.
While talking openly about money does not guarantee better financial decisions , Koch argued that greater awareness could help younger people take more ownership of their finances, particularly as many schools provide limited education in economics, accounting and basic money management.
WHY GEN Z IS SAYING 'NO' MORE OFTEN – AND SAVING MORE MONEY
"I think at least it gets the conversation started," Koch said, "Some awareness is a positive development, especially in an economy that feels very uncertain as young people enter a labor market that could be wrecked by the prospect of AI."
Salary discussions may be the next barrier to fall as online culture continues to challenge the traditional norms surrounding money.

"You don't talk about politics or money at the dinner table.
So we'll see if that starts to change," Koch said.
