Nevertheless, taking under consideration different generations, it occurs that Millennials are more likely to use digital sources in order to learn about finance (social media, websites) comparing to X Generation and Boomers who prefer to gain information from financial staff.
When it comes to trust in sources, financial service provider advice as well as this given from older generation members is considered as the most trustworthy (76% of respondent trust them completely or somewhat). The differences between Millenials, Gen Xers and Boomers are not significant, which means that although they differ on how they acquire financial information, they all positively evaluate their access to valuable, trustworthy sources.
