BT Money Hacks Ep 81: How Gen Z youth can save and invest smartly earlier

12:14 min

Synopsis: Updated fortnightly on Mondays, The Business Times breaks down useful financial tips.

This episode looks at how and why Generation Z youth approach savings and investments.

SingSaver conducted a survey over August and September this year, and found that when it comes to saving habits, Singaporean Gen Z youth (aged 18 - 23) are savvier than their millennial counterparts (aged 24 - 39).

85% of Gen Z respondents started saving before the age of 22, more than twice the number of millennials, at just 41%.
65% of Gen Zs stick to their budget “often” and “very often” as compared to 56% of millennials.

Chris Lim hosts SingSaver’s interim country manager Prashant Aggarwal.

They discuss the following points:

1. Three reasons why Gen Z youth are already saving for retirement and starting investment journeys earlier than older generations (1:55)

2. Why it is easier to start investing now in this age of robo advisers, Internet banking, app-based stock trading and easy access to global markets (3:35)

3. Which are the top five asset classes that Gen Z youth focus on? (6:15)

4. Understand the key principle: Higher return, higher risk, higher effort and inversely, lower return, lower risk, and lower effort (7:00)

5. Steps on how Gen Z youth can start small with $50 targets and gradually generate a passive income of $1,000 a month (8:00)
