Helping Australians navigate the tipping point in achieving mental wealth and financial sustainability

Brand new 2023 insights available now

In our third Finding Financial Freedom state-of-the-nation, two in five Australians tell us that their financial situation is worse than in 2022, and a staggering three-quarters are not optimistic about their financial future. This crush on Australia’s ‘mental wealth’ – self-esteem and the balance of a person’s confidence, resilience and understanding of how to create a sustainable financial future – is not only setting us up for potentially devastating consequences, but also shaping how we interact with financial products and services, how we respond to communications or advertising, and the type of customer experiences that motivates us to engage with a financial brand.

 

Australians continue to seek leadership in financial sustainability and messages that are emotionally positive and uplifting in tone. They are looking for brands to leave them feeling confident and inspired, and they want support to unlock and grow their mental wealth and financial capability. Will your brand take on the challenge of supporting the social and commercial imperative of Australia’s quest for finding financial freedom?

2022

The imperative is clear – to help every Australian to unlock and build their long-term, sustainable mental wealth.

Against the pandemic backdrop of soaring inflation, rising cost of living, and the new government’s proposed ‘wellbeing’ budget, we know that wealth determines health more than ever before. And achieving financial autonomy has never been more complex. But it is a social and commercial imperative. Finance goals and life goals are strongly interlinked when it comes to seeking financial autonomy. As more and more Australians reassess their lives, our latest research clearly reveals the gap between knowledge and decisions.

 

Australians are open to a conversation about financial independence, but don’t know where or how to start. And the language is changing. We know Australians are looking for leadership in financial services and for messages that are emotionally positive and uplifting in tone. They are looking for brands to leave them feeling confident and inspired to unlock their mental wealth and financial sustainability. It’s the conversation we must all have. And it can’t wait.
