Two thirds of British Gen Z feel anxious about money. A new survey found that 65% of 18-28-year-olds say that money worries are impacting their mental health, increasing stress, and even interfering with their sleep. And experts say that Gen Z’s money-related anxiety points to a broader issue of a “financial education gap” in the U.K. It sheds light on the information gap about credit scores and personal finance, with one fifth of survey respondents having been declined for a credit card or personal loan because of their credit history. With all these issues in mind, the British government is currently developing a new curriculum for schools to boost financial literacy so that young people can better manage their finances—and hopefully feel less stressed about money.
