It's great to hear the conversations around our recent research which found that 28% of young adults with a mortgage don’t have life insurance. That's 1.7 million homeowners. Thank you Protection Reporter for sharing. #LifeInsurance

In her new blog, Jackie Davies, Customer Operations Director, has delved into our recent research into the impact the cost-of-living crisis has had on young adults. Our research found the average cost of getting married, buying a house and having children in the UK has soared to almost £395,000. As Jackie points out, more than half of the 18-40 year olds we surveyed said their top priority is simply to live comfortably. This aspiration comes off the back of high rents and growing bills which continue to make life difficult for this age group. #CostOfLiving #LifeGoals
