The lack of financial resilience among Britain’s midlife workers has been laid bare by new research, which shows three in ten UK adults (30 per cent) have less than £1,000 in easily accessible savings.
About one in seven (14 per cent) said they had no savings whatsoever, while even among those aged 45-54, an age span usually considered around the peak earning years for workers, more than half (54 per cent) had less than £2,500 available to them should they suffer a loss of income.
