Young people serious about saving

Saving is essential to the vast majority (86 percent) of 18-35-year-olds surveyed, according to a report prepared based on quantitative and qualitative research conducted by SW Research for the PFR Portal PPK. In addition to putting money away each month, some invest it. This allows them to increase their sense of security and stability (23 percent), secure their cash for more significant expenses (18 percent), and ensure a promising future for themselves and their loved ones. Interestingly, however, young people have different understandings of the term "saving," although, for the majority (64 percent), it saves a portion of their earnings for the future. Over half of respondents believe that equally important forms of saving are comparing product prices before buying (54 percent), not wasting food (44 percent), buying only the clothes they need (40 percent) and buying things on sale, using discount vouchers and promotions (39 percent).

"Young people (18-35 years old) are just beginning their professional lives, getting their first paychecks. They are learning to plan for expenses, including savings. I think this is a perfect time to start thinking about saving – not only in the perspective of the next vacation but also in terms of life, starting a family, buying a home, and securing a decent and good future after the end of professional activity," Robert Zapotoczny, CEO of PFR Portal PPK, said.
