Findings from the second annual Guardian Workplace Benefits Study reveal that many millennials identify themselves as Do-It-Yourselfers when it comes to making financial decisions.

The study also indicated that these independent-minded individuals appear to be falling behind their peers when it comes to preparing for a secure retirement and obtaining insurance solutions.
