More than one in five (22%) people avoid looking at their bank balance because of feeling anxious about their finances, a survey has found.

This rises to more than a third (35%) of millennials aged 28 to 43 and some two-fifths (43%) of Gen-Z adults aged 18 to 27, according to a savings tracker from Aldermore.
