The Problem Facing Consumers Millions living beyond their means

Personal savings at lowest since the Great Depression(In 2006, Commerce Department reported lowest savings rate in 73 years)

41 percent of workers live paycheck-paycheck (CareerBuilder.com survey)

More complex bill-paying and banking environment Intuit’s market research showing consumers visit 20 different sites to pay

bills On an average weekday, 16 million Americans do online banking –

5x the number who go into a bank (Source: The Pew Internet & American Life Project)

Debt in the United States is at an all-time high Excessive credit card usage Lack of education on personal finance Students graduating with major debt from student loans The number of 18 to 24-year-olds declaring bankruptcy has increased

96% in 10 years, according to the Richmond Credit Abuse Resistant Education Program

Most don’t know where to start Pen and paper still rampant Many people rely on their bank balance to tell them how much money

they have Mindset that personal finance tools are hard to use
