At what age do you think people should start learning about wealth and money?
27
is the average age to start
But respondents who began before 18 are more confident in their knowledge of wealth and money.

How do people learn about wealth and money? You may be surprised. We surveyed more than 800 people in the UK with about £5 million in assets. Our research reveals that nearly 2 out of 3 people ‘go it alone’ when building their financial knowledge.
Key findings:
- Financial guidance begins quite late, at 27
- 64% of respondents conduct their own research to improve their financial literacy
- Financial education is guided by family, but it’s not the most effective method
