Eddie Grant chats to Financial Planner, Kelly Mills about her insightful research about goal setting for young adults and their reluctance to seek professional advice.

In this episode of the TechLink in Conversation, host Eddie Grant interviews Kelly Mills, who discusses her 2023 dissertation on young adults' financial goals and their reluctance to seek professional advice. Key findings include a common goal among interviewees to purchase a house, yet a general hesitance to consult financial advisors. The research highlights a perceived inaccessibility of financial advice, with many believing it's tailored for the wealthy, middle-aged demographic, despite recognising its universal benefit. Kelly suggests the potential for more extensive future research to explore the impact of expert financial advice on achieving such goals more effectively.
