FAMILY FEARS

MONEY worries are forcing many would-be parents to delay plans to start a family for three years or longer, a report has found.

Some 45% of 25 to 34-year-olds who plan to have children said they will put off starting a family for at least three years.

Half of these people were delaying starting a family for this length of time due to money worries, making this the top concern according to the research from the Centre for the Modern Family.
