New financial marketing research from Logica uncovers the future of money and technology
The way people make, spend, save and invest money would certainly be dramatically affected by a recession.In our latest Logica Future of Money Study, we have been gathering insights to understand how a possible recession might affect people and their moneymanagement in the coming year.While some market analysts and pundits predict more of a market slowdown than a recession in 2020, we found in our financial market research that more than three quarters of Americans are concerned about a recession.
Some are preparing for a recession by setting aside money (71%) and identifying places to eliminate expenses (52%), and some (26%) are changing their investment strategies to protect or grow their assets.
And while eight in ten (79%) Americans tell us they can cover at least one month of living expenses, two in ten (19%) can’t cover anything.
Recessionary views are also impacted by multiple income streams. We found that Americans working one job are significantly more concerned about a recession than those working two jobs. We see Americans continuing to be scrappy in how they manage their money—with 30% preparing for a recession by getting additional work.
