The survey found that of those in debt:

·         Over 57% of respondents said their personal happiness has been significantly affected

·         A huge 61%  expressed that debt problems had affected their personal relationships

·         Males between the age of 40-49 are the highest demographic affected by debt.

Males aged between 40-49 have been previously highlighted as the most vulnerable to suicide by many organisations and have been once again in the newest Samaritans campaign (2012 We’re In Your Corner). The organisation confirmed this disconcerting message; males aged between 35-54 are 3 times more likely to commit suicide than females (of any age). In their own research, Vincent Bond also found that females are 3 times more likely to seek help and advice about their debt problems from free counselling services such as the Samaritans, Mind and Vincent Bond.
