Women are just as reluctant as men to talk about money, the study from Starling Bank found, but age made a difference. 

Forty-two per cent of all 18- to 34-year-olds were happy with the subject, compared with just ten per cent of over-55s.

This could be because younger people are more likely to be in a similar financial position to peers.
