As much as I know people don’t like to talk about money, the poll below astounded me.
Empower, a financial services company, recently surveyed thousands of Americans and discovered that 62% don’t talk about money, even though they think about it.
Fast Company reports the shocking stat: “It’s easier to believe in magic than financial planning: 71% of Americans said they bought a lottery ticket, and 24% of millennials said they’ve spoken to a fortune teller, but only 33% of Americans have spoken with a financial planner.” And the kicker is that 66% of those surveyed “believe more conversation [about money] could help people achieve financial freedom.”
