How do the financial needs of individuals change throughout their lifespan?
Finances change a lot throughout. As a younger person we rely on our family/carers to provide for us, we then get jobs as young teenagers, we progress as we get older, we then reach an age where we retire and then find ourselves relying on our carers again financially/to provide.
How does a career/occupation change for individuals throughout their lifespan?
A person can have many jobs over their lifespan, this changes from when we are young to when we retire. Some change careers in the middle of their life. This changes throughout our lifetime even in the way of going from a paid worker, to role changing such as becoming a parent full time.
