The recession has taken its toll on the mindset of Britain’s savers, with saving for emergencies now top priority in their financial planning, according to National Savings & Investments (NS&I).
While retirement saving was top priority three years ago, pension planning has now dropped into 4th place in autumn 2009, as savers seek to squirrel cash away for a rainy day, according to the Autumn 2009 Quarterly Savings Survey by National Savings & Investments.
