Money has overtaken family: Kirov youth have reassessed their goals for the five-year plan.
In Kirov, the agenda of youth ambitions has changed. According to a recent survey conducted in June among 11,000 residents of major cities in Russia, local respondents under 35 years old have, for the first time in several years, prioritized financial well-being over personal relationships.
62% of Kirov residents named financial stability as their main goal for the next five years. A year ago, this figure was 53%. Family and children now occupy the second spot at 56%. The desire to find true love rounds out the top three, expressed by 55% of participants. The difference between the first and third points is minimal, but the very fact of this shift in priorities has proven to be a stable trend.
Housing issues, judging by the data, have ceased to be a pressing problem for the youth. 71% of respondents live in their own housing — including shared ownership with parents or other relatives. Another 14% are in rental situations or living with friends or relatives. Only 36% identified owning an apartment as an important goal — apparently, for many, this stage has already been passed.
As for savings, the picture is uneven. On average, Kirov residents plan to save 2.2 million rubles over the next five years. At the same time, 28% of young people regularly set aside money, while 43% do so occasionally. They consider a comfortable level of monthly savings to be 13% of their income.
As noted by the press service of Sberbank, which participated in the study, the habit of systematic saving has already been formed among local youth: 71% have experience saving in one form or another. According to them, the earlier a person starts planning their budget, the easier it is for them to move towards their own goals and feel confident about the future.
