Young adults under the age of 25 have expressed their concerns regarding financial pressures ahead of the upcoming Budget announcement. In a recent survey conducted across the country, a significant majority of U25s reported that money is a constant worry in their lives, impacting their mental well-being and future plans. The survey revealed that the main sources of stress for young adults include rising living costs, student loan debts, difficulties in finding stable employment, and the overall economic uncertainty caused by the global pandemic.
Various U25s shared their perspectives, with many highlighting the challenges they face in saving money, investing in their future, and achieving financial stability. Some expressed frustration with the lack of support from the government in addressing their specific needs and called for more targeted policies to alleviate the financial burden on young people.
On the other hand, government officials have acknowledged the concerns raised by young adults and have promised to take them into account in the Budget planning. They emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting the younger generation through policies aimed at boosting employment opportunities, reducing student debt, and creating a more affordable housing market.
As the Budget announcement approaches, all eyes are on the government to see how it will address the pressing issues faced by U25s and whether the proposed measures will be sufficient to alleviate the financial worries of young adults across the country.
