The idea that Brexit will have little impact to people on an individual personal level was found throughout the questions asked in the online research. For instance, just 39 per cent of respondents said that they felt Brexit would have a negative impact on their ability manage their personal finances. Nearly one in five respondents (19 per cent) said that Brexit would actually have a positive impact in this regard while 30 per cent said that they didn't anticipate it to have any effect at all. The survey, commissioned by Equifax, a consumer and business insights firm, and conducted by YouGov, also highlighted a Brexit pessimism age gap with over half (56 per cent) of 18-24 year olds believing exiting the EU will make it more difficult to access and manage their finances, compared to just 30 per cent of those 55 and over.
