The well-being of Russians largely depends on the size of their savings.
About a quarter of citizens have a financial cushion in case of unforeseen circumstances.
This conclusion was made in a joint study by the analytical center NAFI and the insurance company Rosgosstrakh Life. The document is at the disposal of the RBC agency.
The votes of the Russians surveyed were divided as follows.
15% of Russians have a financial cushion that will allow them to stay afloat for six months. Another 12% of citizens shared that they have enough funds to maintain their usual standard of living for a year.
27% are confident that they will survive on savings for up to two months, every fifth (21%) believes that the funds will last for a maximum of 30 days. Another 17% admitted that they will not survive even a week without funds.
It is noted that the highest percentage of those confident in their own financial cushion is found among residents of cities with a population of over a million, including those who have a higher education, a high position and qualifications.
