Momentum x Unisa
Momentum and the University of South Africa (Unisa) Science of Success Insights 2022 result from a partnership of over 11 years. Each year, we’ve provided expert-led and research-backed insights into the finances of South African households.
Recent events and prevailing economic uncertainty have reminded us that we don’t have control over what happens worldwide. The good news is that there is a formula for financial success. Making reactive moves can lead to regrets, but financial success can be achieved through insightful advice, empowering tools and sound money habits.
SUMMARY OF OUR FINDINGS
Household types and their financial goals
Couples (with or without children) who set financial goals had the highest Financial Wellness Index scores, exceeding the national average. The difference in the Financial Wellness Index scores is relatively large between those with and without goals, again highlighting the importance of setting and pursuing goals as key drivers towards financial wellness.
Financial wellness scores
In all types of households, those with financial goals had a higher financial wellness score compared to those without any goals. Single households with minor children who had no goals had the lowest Financial Wellness Index scores.
