New research has shown the money and life habits of Australians most likely to be “living the dream”. Go-Getters are happiest with their financial situation and lifestyle, with nearly 20% saying they are “living the dream”.

This ideal personality profile is most likely to work full time, have a degree, and is most likely to be Generation Y. They also have a really strong belief in themselves with 84% saying they completely or somewhat believe in themselves and their ability to create the life they want.

Habits of “go-getters” include:
  1. Wake up before 7am (50%)
  2. Spend quality time with family (44%)
  3. Spend time diary planning (19%)
  4. Meditate or engage in spiritual activity (16%)
  5. Eat out at restaurants (11%)

This personality type not only dream big but have the “drive and determination to carve out their dreams”, says FPA CEO, Dante De Gori, CFP®. “I’m obviously most thrilled to see a whopping 58% of Go-Getters have sought advice from a financial planner, or intend to do so. That’s a truly satisfying testament to our profession that people happiest with their money and life see a financial planner.”

The FPA Live the Dream 2017 research was conducted by McCrindle Research among 2,635 Australians aged between 23 and 71 between 2-13 June 2017 Source: https://fpa.com.au
