Intuit recently released The Pursuit of Prosperity, a study designed to to better understand how Americans:
• define prosperity
• view the factors that impact their ability to live the life they want
• feel about your current financial standing
• plan to achieve greater prosperity
• view their financial future
The bad news from the study is 78% of Americans feel prosperity is currently out of reach. But the good news is 58% are hopeful that they can achieve prosperity in the future.
The study chart below shows some of the key challenges facing many Americans. These results are consistent with other studies on this topic.
These numbers make it clear that many Americans are just getting by or struggling financially despite the health of the overall U.S. economy.
We cover this topic in more detail in our Economic Uncertainty section.
Disclosure: Intuit is an Emergent Research client but we didn't work on this study.
