Fretting does not get finances on right foot
Men are more likely than women to fret about their finances instead of putting them in order, a study found.
Three-quarters of people worry about their cash flow, but about four in 10 of them admit to spending more time fretting than taking action, the survey from Treasury-backed NS&I said.
Of those, 45 per cent of men compared with 37 per cent of women do more worrying than planning about their finances.
