More Brits 'getting into saving habit'

More people around the UK have got into a habit of saving money than was the case a year ago, according to recent research.

Figures compiled on behalf of Birmingham Midshires have shown that the overall proportion of Britons that add to some sort of savings vehicle has increased by close to three per cent during the past 12 months.

The amounts that are typically being set aside around the country have remained roughly the same in the past year and the financial services firm has suggested that people should aim to have close to three months salary in their savings pots.

According to Birmingham Midshires, the rise in the number of people getting into a savings habit can be attributed to the UK's increasingly testing economic climate.

"We are delighted to see that people are getting into the savings habit and are maintaining the amount they set aside each month," said Jason Robinson, director of savings operations at Birmingham Midshires.

Meanwhile, a report from Halifax recently highlighted that January is a particularly popular month for British consumers to take on unsecured personal debt consolidation loans.
