The Future<br />

AFFLUENT POPULATION EXPANDS IN SIZE,<br />

SPENDING POWER AND MARKETPLACE IMPORTANCE<br />

PART<br />

02<br />

The study found that<br />

<strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong><br />

have a uniquely progressive<br />

view of future financial<br />

conditions. For example,<br />

<strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong> are<br />

particularly likely to envision<br />

a cashless, sharing-based<br />

economy in the future<br />

where banks no longer<br />

serve as their primary<br />

financial institutions.<br />

Crisis is Looming<br />

While all groups studied — affluent<br />

as well as general classifications of<br />

<strong>Millennials</strong> and GenXers — share<br />

similar expectations of an impending<br />

financial crisis, <strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong><br />

are by far the most convinced that<br />

one is on the way.<br />

TOP 3 POINTS OF VARIATION IN FUTURE PREDICTIONS<br />

Confidence in the Country<br />

They aren’t all doom and gloom,<br />

though. <strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong> have<br />

the highest level of confidence<br />

in the future economic growth<br />

of their country. Also, more than<br />

any other group, they believe<br />

that the American Dream is<br />

definitely possible.<br />

Sacrifices Today Make a Brighter Tomorrow<br />

<strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong> are disciplined<br />

and future-oriented — 72% agree<br />

that the sacrifices they make<br />

now will pay off in the future,<br />

whereas only about half of all<br />

other groups surveyed agreed<br />

with this perspective.<br />
