Young Britons are increasingly preparing for their financial future, new research shows.

Figures released by Birmingham Midshires revealed that the proportion of young people who have opened up a savings account has doubled over the last six months. According to the financial services firm, one in seven adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have taken out such a product in the previous three months. Compared to the one in 14 people from the age group who set up such a savings product six months ago, more consumers may find that their finances are in a favourable position in later life, which could help them meet demands for payment on areas such as loans and utility bills as they get older.

As the festive season approaches consumers need to organise their finances as they get set to increase spending on areas such as gifts and food, an industry expert has advised.

In doing so, he suggested that consumers could find that their finances are in a much more favourable position both in the final stages of 2007 and in the new year. As a result, this may help them to meet various demands on their spending such as secured loans, utility bills and credit card statements and avoid developing unmanageable money problems.
