Predictors of financial well-being Financial well‐being is predicted by a mixture of demographic characteristics and personal financial behaviours Factors predicting financial well‐being among survey respondents were consistent with those in the literature. People with poor financial well‐being are likely to be: younger, single people with health problems or a disability, living in rented accommodation and on lower incomes. This group are more likely to face financial distress and have difficulty in paying bills. Those with better financial well‐being are older, own their homes, married or living with a partner, without health problems and on higher incomes. Notably, financial behaviours as well as demographic characteristics were also influential in predicting financial well‐being among respondents to the survey: those who budgeted, had lower levels of savings and higher debts were likely to have lower financial well‐being than the rest of the respondents. Apart from associations between higher income levels and better financial wellbeing, there is no available evidence in the literature which identifies particular occupational groups as being most vulnerable to poor financial well‐being.
