Hungry for money: 6 in 10 millennials will work more to increase their wealth

They are even willing to compromise their relations to maximise their riches.

Money matters so much for millennials in Singapore that most of them (69%) are willing to spend more time working to increase their wealth, a survey by St. James’s Place Asia (SPJ Asia) has found.

Almost a third (70%) of millennials will work longer and harder even at the expense of personal relationships while they are young to enjoy the fruits of their labour when they are older.

According to SPJ Asia, almost half of millennials (49%) want to grow their wealth because they want to have money to invest in personal ambitions.

Millennials (83%) said being wealthier also allows them to have a better work-life balance.

When investing, millennials would often seek financial advice from family (63%), professional financial advisers (35%), and friends (34%).

Apart from investments (88%), millennials also seek financial advice on matters such as mortgages and insurance (74%).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
