Young Aussies have become the most committed savers in the country, a new study claims.
Nearly 90 per cent of Generation Z Australians aged between 18 and 29 years-old are actively putting money away, according to new data released by NAB this morning.
The survey claims 89 per cent of young women and 85 per cent of young men are committed to growing their savings accounts despite being hit by cost-of-living pressures and uncertainty around interest rates.

According to a recent survey, a significant number of Australians—three-quarters, to be exact—are being compelled to tighten their belts and reduce their spending.

Belionda Mamet, a NAB Retail Executive, noted that younger Australians have grasped the importance of saving money from an early age.

“Young Aussies should commend themselves for the progress they’ve already made,” she remarked.

“Although cutting back and saving might seem dull, our younger customers are handling their finances impressively well,” she added.

Mamet encouraged Australians aiming to save money to use the New Year as a chance for a fresh start, suggesting they begin with modest budgeting objectives.

“Pause, reset, and make a couple of small changes that help you feel back in control after a busy summer of celebrations and higher than usual spending,” she said.

“If you’re exhausted with cut back fatigue, don’t cut more, just don’t quit what you’re already doing. Small, repeatable actions can make a big difference.”
