 Almost a third of Brits admit the state of their finances is so troubling that they "can't cope for much longer".
A survey conducted by price comparison site moneysupermarket.com found that 30 per cent of Brits are "really worried" about their finances, while the majority of respondents - 53.6 per cent - said they were worried "to a certain extent".
Just 16 per cent of those polled say they have "no financial worries" at all.

According to the website, UK consumers currently owe more than 1.3 trillion on loans, credit cards and overdrafts alone - and with this figure rising, the ability of borrowers to cope appears to be diminishing.
