Financial firms don't connect with millennials, study finds

TribLIVE: There are several reasons that firms have been unable to reach younger consumers, the survey said. One is that firms haven't developed products that connect the rewards of saving to the present. Nearly three-quarters of the millenials surveyed said they would save more for retirement if they were rewarded in some way.
