ATLANTA–(BUSINESS THREAD)–New consumer data shows greater need for financial advice across generations. I understand, the leading cloud technology platform for financial advisors, today released the results of our recently commissioned online survey conducted by The Harris Poll. More than 2,000 American adults were surveyed about their attitudes regarding their current financial situation and where professional help is needed.
The main findings of the survey include:
69% of Americans are worried about their current financial situation; 64% of Gen Z (ages 18-25), 81% of Millennials (ages 26-41) and 75% of Gen X (ages 42-57) are worried about their current financial situation . Given the current state of the US economy, less than half of Americans (48%) say they are comfortable with their current financial plan. 50% of Gen Z and 39% of Millennials say they are not comfortable with their current financial plan. Paying off debt (28%), retirement planning (26%) and investment/portfolio management (24%) are the top three areas where Americans say they need the most professional help. 80% of Gen Z and 84% of Millennials indicated there are areas they need professional help with regarding their finances, compared to 70% of Gen X and 63% of Boomers ( between 58 and 76 years).
