Younger age groups particularly feel this way, with 58% of 25 to 34 years olds stating this. Almost three in five (59%) 35 to 44 year olds also claim to be anxious and worried about their personal finances.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, it is clear that saving regularly can have a positive impact on finances and people\u2019s happiness. Almost three quarters (74%) of regular savers felt happy over the month prior to being asked, as opposed to just over a third (36%) of non-savers.<\/p>\n<p>Over three quarters (76%) of regular savers say that getting into the savings habit made them feel less anxious over their personal finances, and for the youngest age group, the impact is even more stark. Over four-fifths (86%) of 18-24 year-old regular savers claim that saving regularly makes them feel less anxious and insecure about their personal finances. For those that don\u2019t save, two-thirds (68%) say that they would feel less worried if they did save regularly.<\/p>\n<p>The research suggests that just putting a plan in place for your finances can also help. Over half (53%) of savers agree that having a savings plan has had a positive impact on their mental health, and again for those aged 25 to 34, this rises to 64%.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Rawcliffe, Head of Savings, Lloyds Bank said:\u00a0\u201cGetting into the savings habit can not only help your finances, but it can also ease financial worries and reduce stress for many. Having savings provides peace of mind that there is a financial buffer for any unexpected costs arising or reassurance of the ability to pay for something if you are saving up for a longer term goal. Putting a small amount away each month in a regular savings account is often a good first step on the path to building your savings pot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that over four fifths (83%) feel that it is important to save for the future, just under two-thirds (61%) of people still feel that one of the reasons for not saving more is that they don\u2019t have enough money left to be able to save.<\/p>\n<p>One in four people in the UK will be affected by mental health in any given year*, and of these around four million will also struggle will their financial wellbeing. Lloyds Banking Group is committed to raising awareness of and helping break down the stigmas associated with mental health conditions. Through a charity partnership with Mental Health UK, the Group has helped to build and launch the Mental Health and Money Advice service, to assist people who are struggling with both mental health and money problems, as well as their friends and families. The Group also launched the #GetTheInsideOut advertising campaign this year, which aimed to encourage more people to feel comfortable speaking about mental health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is an article provided by our partners\u2019 network.
