JOE BARONIO, BTN REPORTER: We've been hearing for a while now that a lot of people are struggling with the cost of living, and increasingly, young Aussies say they're not just worried about now, but also what it means for the future.
11
PERSON: It has been definitely on my mind, and every paycheck I'm like, ‘okay, what can I buy, what can I not buy?’ So yeah, definitely on my mind.
12
Late last year, UNICEF Australia released a study which looked into the wellbeing of children and youth across the country, and of the more than two-thousand 12 to 17-year-olds surveyed, 55 per cent have mixed or unsure feelings about the future, saying financial security and housing is a top concern. Likewise, in Mission Australia's 2025 Youth Survey of more than 17,000 14 to 19-year-olds, the most pressing issue for young people was the cost of living, with one-in-five agreeing that they felt money-stress. And reports from Curtin University and Monash University in 2025 also found financial difficulties to be a top concern.

KATRINA SAMIOS, FINANCIAL BASICS FOUNDATION: I think it is tougher for young people, but it's definitely not hopeless.
19
This is Katrina. She's the CEO of the Financial Basics Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation helping young people learn about their personal finances. She says that young people can start their financial literacy journey at any age, but the earlier the better, ideally starting from primary school age, which is something some Aussie kids miss out on.
20
KATRINA SAMIOS: That is actually part of the problem and the fact that money is still a taboo topic and that we're not speaking about it more openly, not only in the school environment, but at, at home, that it's not being spoken about at home, that's where the foundations come from and the confidence.
21
PERSON: Mum and Dad talked about, never really talked about finances a whole lot.
22
It's important because obviously your parents are there to set you up for your future, and finance is a little bit a part of that.
23
PERSON: Definitely yeah, and not to put a stress on your child or whatever, but just sort of showing them a bit of what it's about and teaching them.
24
PERSON: We grew up as like second generation immigrants, so I think that was really big for my family growing up and yeah, investing, saving money, you know, eating at home instead of going out to eat when we can, and all that kind of thing, I think was really big growing up. In terms of like taxes and more like the adult finance or stuff, I haven't really had much of that.
25
PERSON: For my parents, they're both immigrants from overseas. So, saving was a really big thing for them because they came from nothing.
26
KATRINA SAMIOS: We're asking young people to engage and make financial decisions the minute that they leave school, and yet we haven't prepared them for it. Certainly, the key is building your financial toolkit early so that you are more resilient, or you are resilient regardless of what's happening in the market and with those cost-of-living pressures.
27
Part of that financial toolkit is saving, and despite the rising cost of well, everything really, a lot of young people have been putting money aside. In fact, new data from NAB shows that 18 to 29-year-olds are the most committed savers of any age group, with 89 per cent of young women and 85 per cent of young men actively putting money aside.
28
PERSON: I don't necessarily put it into a savings account, but that's because I have such a, a strong foundation of saving in my mindset.
29
PERSON: I do a lot of like saving, a lot of investing as well.
30
PERSON: I'm not really earning enough to be able to do that, so it's kind of most of my money is coming in and then leaving by the next paycheck.
31
PERSON: I make sure to like spend money and enjoy it, but like at the end of the day, I always make sure I have enough savings.
32
PERSON: Unfortunately, I spend all of my money. So, I don't save much no.
33
What do you spend it on?
34
PERSON: Motorbikes, cars.
35
Nice! PERSON: I don't have a savings account, but I do actively try and save money from my job, and not like splurge or buy anything super expensive.
36
KATRINA SAMIOS: We understand that young people are navigating a very complex financial system now, one that previous generations never had to. And, the solution to that is building financial literacy because it helps, it arms you with the skills, the behaviours and the attitudes that you need.
37
While Katrina believes personal finance should be more prominent in the Australian Curriculum to help future generations, she says teens and young adults now can start by setting up basic financial habits like keeping track of income and spending, putting away even tiny amounts into savings, and then looking at ways money can make you money in the long run.
38
KATRINA SAMIOS: Which is understanding compound interest, understanding and exploring opportunities where you might invest in whatever way that you're comfortable with, risk, reward. So those kinds of concepts that not only is about the behaviour of that setting money aside but understanding how you can build wealth through that habit is, is a critical part of, of the whole opportunity that you have, if you have got that good saving plan in place.
39
But if all those words sound a little confusing, there are lots of resources online to help.
40
KATRINA SAMIOS: Certainly places like us, Financial Basics Foundation, the ATO, ASIC, all those government sites have really good quality, independent, credible information.
41
And while things may be tough right now, these guys are optimistic about the future.
42
PERSON: I'm hopeful. I hope it will be all right.
43
PERSON: I've done, I’ve worked it out, I’ve done my budget, worked hard last year to get myself in a position where I can be quite comfortable at the moment and I'm the very start of my uni journey so I've still got like three, still got three years.
44
PERSON: Yeah, it is going to be tough, but everything is and you'll just work your way through it.
45
PERSON: Don't stress, because stress doesn't get you anywhere. But be smart and be conscious and really invest your money, not necessarily into investments, but into things that matter.
46
PERSON: As long as you're committed to the bit, that's what I say, everything will work out...
47
Commit to the bit?
48
PERSON: And stress is the biggest killer so.
49
PERSON: So just have a plan, know what you're doing and stick to it. That's it.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
