    Goals Survey Summary

    by Benjamin Felix

    Generating relevant objectives based on values, information, and knowledge is a necessary part of any decision. While it is common for financial planners to assist their clients in meeting their objectives, people are empirically deficient at identifying what their objectives are.

    We conducted a survey where we collected responses from listeners of the Rational Reminder podcast, clients of PWL Capital, and the public for the period March through August 2022.

    Respondents took, on average, 49 minutes to complete the survey and we collected 310 full responses. The majority of respondents were aged 25-34 (138) and 35-44 (96). In total, we collected 2,394 individual objectives.

    Our detailed findings are documented in this paper.
