Not only is there passion, they're actually starting at a MUCH younger age than we did! See second article linked below.
Millennials are more financially responsible than Boomers or Gen X

Number of golfers steady, more beginners coming from millennials - Golf Digest
Millennials Learn How to Save Money Better Than Parents | Money

HOWEVER...a summary paragraph inside this article says this;

"The survey findings don’t necessarily indicate that millennials are better at saving than baby boomers, or that they have more money saved up than their parents’ generation. Boomers are actually much more likely than millennials to have at least six months’ worth of savings (38 percent vs. 23 percent). Yet more millennials than boomers have some emergency savings."
