Nation is in save, not spend, mode

The 'MoneyMood' survey of around 1,000 adults each month between September 2004 and February 2007 reveals 64% of adults in the UK were in the mood to save at the end of February 2007, compared to 56% in the same month in 2005 and 62% in 2006. It also suggests 24% of adults were in the mood to spend at the end of February 2007, compared to 32% in February 2005 and 28% in 2006.
