GEN Y - Do YOU want an 80 year career?

If you are an Aussie Gen Y person, you are the future leaders of our country.  At some point, sooner rather than later, you will need to start thinking about money, saving and investing.  In fact, Gen Y makes up for one-fifth of our total population, that's about 4.65 million of you (born 1980-1994).  Gen Y is currently 18% of the workforce and will be the biggest generation in the workforce within 10 years.  Why is this interesting?  Because Gen Y will be living longer than previous generations, be working later in life and will accumulate more money in your lifetime than those before you.  In fact, all the BIG companies and institutions worldwide recognise this and have already started formulating marketing strategies to sell you products and services - you are a huge 'target market'.

With this in mind, navigating all the 'noise' about being smart with your money, including what to buy and when can be a tough thing to do, but learning about money now is a crucial life skill that will never go to waste.  It isn't always about 'saving for a rainy day' but rather some smart decisions now that will let you have the life you want as well as preparing a little for your future.  The Australian Government has only recently included financial literacy in the national school curriculum and this is to be applauded, however EQUIS wants Ausralian Gen Y to feel empowered and not overwhelmed and challenged.  With this in mind, we have created a 2 hour seminar called Start Smart to properly educate our 'Future Leaders' on the fundamentals of money, saving and investing to as to teach a life skill they will forever value.  Book your seat by clicking here.
