Young Aussie left baffled by major bank's 'out of touch' questions during a branch visit to do basic admin
A young Aussie was left baffled after a banker asked her 'out of touch' questions about her savings goals in the midst of the nation's cost of living crisis. Jess, 28, said she probably seemed 'rude' to the employee because she 'literally scoffed' at the questions she was asked at a bank branch 'I just thought how are you asking somebody in their late 20s in this economy what my savings goals are?' The young Aussie said she is just trying to keep her 'head above water' and due to the high cost of necessities, like groceries, she cannot save for a house An increasing number of Aussies are living pay cheque to pay cheque - which doesn't allow them a buffer in case of emergencies or unexpected bills ' goal is to get to the end of the week,' one wrote. The young Aussie said even with government incentives home ownership will 'probably remain a dream', even for a small apartment close to the city.
