Introducing the first All About Money report

19 December 2021

By Lucy Bower

We've just launched the All About Money report - the first in a quarterly series of reports looking at how people in the UK are managing their finances.

Here are some of the most interesting findings:

More than half of us keep money worries from our partners. Men are more likely than women to stay quiet about their concerns.

2 million people never check their bank account - meaning they could be falling behind on their finances without realising. 84% of us check at least once a week, though.

Women are more likely to discuss their finances with others than men - although they're also more likely to feel bad about it.

One in seven people feel obliged to spend a minimum amount at Christmas, even if it might break their budget.

• More than a third (35%) of people are worried about the cost of heating their home over the festive period.

One fifth of couples argue more over Christmas because of money.

Half of us (around 25 million adults) have no personal debt, not including mortgages - although more than a fifth of those who are in debt owe between £5,000 and £10,000.
