People in the UK are more concerned about their finances and things such as loans than they are about terrorism or climate change, results of a new survey have shown.
According to a poll by AXA, 53 per cent of Britons feel that financial problems are the biggest issues facing the country today.
A year ago, this was only a concern for 21 per cent of the population and 23 per cent felt that terrorism was the nation's greatest threat.
Steve Folkard, from AXA, said: "Financial concerns can easily monopolise every waking thought, at home and at work, causing serious psychological problems."
The research also found that 75 per cent of people have not discussed their financial situations with their bank or an independent advisor in the past 12 months.
Other recent research by AXA found that one in three Britons have lied to their family and friends about the state of their finances.
