Financial Quotient of Filipinos
Based on the Financial quotient survey conducted by Citibank here in the Philippines, the average Filipino has a financial quotient of 47.8 out of a 100. Here are some characteristics common to us all:
- Less than 4 out of 10 Filipinos have a monthly budget.
- 3 out of 10 Filipinos have no insurance (life or non-life).
- Less than 4 out of 10 Filipinos set aside or save money every payday.
- Only 1 out of 10 Filipinos is saving up for a retirement plan.
- 5 out of 10 Filipinos said that they would ask the assistance of their children upon retirement.
- Filipinos only have about 9 weeks' worth of savings. (If you remember, Colayco advises to save at least 6 month's worth)
