A recent study by eMoney advisor revealed that Americans aren’t looking for professional help when it comes to managing their finances. The results show that 63% of respondents have never consulted a financial advisor. The survey also shows that 33% of those same individuals were living paycheck to paycheck.
The results highlighted that while they make reviewing their finances daily, almost half of investors report being embarrassed or confused when talking about money. The study also found that 30% of those individuals that hire a financial advisor admit to hiding information about their spending habits to their advisor.
This study is one of many that highlights the lack of preparedness that many Americans face with their personal finances.
