- Most respondents prioritize financial health, with 91% focusing on it ahead, and many reducing discretionary spending, switching to cheaper brands, and building emergency savings.
- Key figures include 69% viewing the economy as too uncertain for major moves, 50% trusting financial professionals most, and 74% saying more money would solve most problems.
- The results suggest a potential shift in saving, investing, and advice-seeking behaviors, as noted by Empower's Rebecca Rickert amid this challenging financial environment.
