Youngsters are saving more than most to avoid falling into debt in the face of the financial crisis according to latest research.

Mintel has found that overall one in five (20%) Brits has increased the amount they save while shunning offers of credit, fearing they will end up saddled with debt. This rises to as many as 35% of those aged between 18 and 24.
