Money Worries 'grip' Britons
By Tom
Britons are becoming evermore worried about their finances, new figures indicate.
In a study released by Alliance & Leicester Current Accounts, some 3.4 million consumers claim that is their biggest concern in life. Meanwhile, just under one out of five (18 per cent) respondents get anxious about their cash situation everyday, while 30 per cent develop such concerns several times during the course of a week.
Research from the financial services provider also revealed that concerns are driven at certain times in the year. Half of those surveyed who claim to be worried about their finances state that this is usually triggered by the rising expenses of the Christmas and new year period. Meanwhile, 40 per cent begin to get worried about their monetary situation in the build-up to a holiday. However, for many people it is an inability to create a budget or anxieties about services bills and debts "that set minds racing".
As a means of getting to grips with their spending, just under 62 per cent, or 21 million Britons, rein in unnecessary spending on areas such as going abroad or eating out. Some 13 million sell unwanted items, with just under 12 million choosing to get a second job or working overtime.
Andy Bayes, head of current accounts at Alliance & Leicester, said: "Money is obviously a topic at the forefront of most people's minds. Regardless of whether worries stem from managing day-to-day finances or finding the in the run-up to special times of the year, it's crucial people check that their bank account is working hard for them. Budgeting and making cut backs is one thing, but if people are earning low rates of interest on their hard-earned cash, it's time to switch to a better deal."
