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, posted her story on Tik Tok about her encounter when she visited a bank branch to change her last name because she got married in the previous 12 months.
The banker offered to do a financial health check for her while she was there, but she was left stunned with their line of questioning.
'And the first question was, what are your savings goals at the moment? Are you trying to buy a new car, an investment property, or a home?' she said.
Jess said she probably seemed 'rude' to the employee because she 'literally scoffed'.

'I just thought how are you asking somebody in their late 20s in this economy what my savings goals are?' she said.
Jess shared she had 'zero' savings goals at the moment and was trying to 'keep my head above water'.
The young Aussie, who lives in Melbourne, told news.com.au despite earning $80,000 a year, the question by the banker felt 'out of touch'.
'It disregards how hard just living is for people currently. With the cost of groceries, rent and petrol. Who has the money to save for a house?' she said.
In her Tik Tok, Jess said she is just trying to pay for the essentials in life, like rent and food in addition to trying to save a small amount each pay.
'I don't have goals to buy a house because I know it is so unachievable in this economy,' she said.
