Many people opt not to hire financial planners as they get closer to adulthood. In fact, a recent study completed by Northwestern Mutual shows that even though 6 in 10 Americans recognize they want to improve their financial planning overall, only around 1/3 will seek the help of a professional financial advisor.

The Covid-19 pandemic has awakened some people’s interest in using outside professional help since 1/5 of people who did not have an advisor prior to the pandemic plan to hire one or already have one. Gen Z and millennials are more likely to work with financial advisors. Working with a financial advisor and other estate planning professionals can be extremely important for accomplishing your goals.

Many people who work with a financial advisor use this outside insight to improve their financial outcomes. For example, 80% of respondents who got help from a financial advisor were able to grow their savings over the course of the pandemic whereas among those who did not have a financial advisor, only half were able to save more.
