NEW WEB CHAT - Women are financial fatties! - Chat date: 2.30pm Tuesday 29th January
The personal finance behaviour of people in the UK has been rated and their overall fitness judged according to the financial products they hold, the competitiveness of these products, and how often they shop around for better deals. The products assessed in the research from Abbey were bank accounts, mortgages, savings, insurance and credit cards. A score of zero indicates a lean financially fit machine and 100 is the financial equivalent of being obese.
Women are well on the way to becoming a gender of financial fatties, returning an average score of 46% overweight. Men were leaner, yet with an average of 41%, still overweight. Only just over half of people regularly review their mortgage to get a better deal, proving that that the majority of people are in need of a financial workout to get their finances in peak condition for 2008.
Like any exercise, a financial workout can take a bit of effort but for most people the rewards are well worth it. Join our financial fitness guru Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, to put you through your paces..
