Some new research from First Direct has found that debts and pensions were the biggest financial regrets in 2010.
The survey found that a large proportion of the population regret not taking a longer term view of their finances.
Over half (53%) of those questioned said that not paying off debts more quickly was their greatest regret in 2010. Over a third (37%) said that not saving for retirement earlier was their biggest financial regret last year.
Other financial regrets from 2010 include spending too much money during the Christmas season and staying in a rented property too long, rather than buying a house.
With the New Year only just started, now is the ideal time to plan ahead to make sure you finish 2011 without any financial regrets.
By working with a professional independent financial adviser you can create a tailored financial plan which will help you to avoid financial regrets in 2011.
