Very short description for use in the program to help attendees understand more than a title can describe
This paper provides an interim update to a 20-year longitudinal study. This update provides a snapshot of the cohort’s financial progression and sense of financial wellbeing since the last survey during an election year. The results confirm, not surprisingly, that individuals continue seek advice from family and friends when making financial decisions. The results indicate a lack of political relevance and economic inclusion, affecting a sense of financial- wellbeing.
