Bald men do it better...saving that is

Surprising new research from Abbey Savings finds that balding British males aged over 50 are more likely to be saving up enough money for their retirement than their follicly fertile friends.

Looking at British males over 50, the figures show that:

43 percent more men that are saving up enough money for their retirement have lost all their hair - compared to those who aren’t saving up enough.

34 per cent more over 50 males that aren’t saving up enough money for their retirement have managed to keep all their hair - than those that are saving up enough.

So does this indicate that savings have become a way for older men to compensate for their lack of hair? Or does it show that men who pay more attention to their finances are more likely to be worriers – and are therefore fretting their hair away?

Most likely, it’s none of these and is it just one of those curious yet unexplainable facts!

Reza Attar-Zadeh, Abbey's Head of Savings, said: "Abbey offers an excellent range of savings accounts to cater for all needs. For those over 50, our 50+ Saver account offers an excellent, straightforward savings account with an attractive rate, instant access and availability via phone, internet, ATM or post.”
