“I believe that I will start my pension in my early 30’s.
By this stage of life, I will have steady income and thus
can afford to save a chunk of my income without a
compromise in my standard of living.”
-Vivek, student at Wyggeston & Queen College
• Attitude of consumption over savings
• Increased cost of living
• Myopic – short-term goal oriented
• Demand instant gratification
• Lack of financial education
• “Tech dependent” for communication
“I want to be able to do things now. I don’t want to
wait until I’m fifty and have a million dollars. By then I
won’t want to do these things and I will have missed
out”
-Anonymous

Have never received any form
of financial education
“ I think the main reason for low uptake on pensions by
students is due to lack of knowledge and education of
saving and pensions schemes.”
-Anya, student at University of Oxford

• Financial education for young people in the UK is woefully inadequate, particularly given the responsibility placed on
the shoulders of young people by the DC pension system.
• Moneythink fills this gap, using the skills developed by young professionals to share knowledge and skills.
• Moneythink Redington is actively looking for partner organisations and schools to participate in our programme.
