It won’t come as a surprise to most of us, but according to a poll of UK parents, more than half of us are spending more money on our children than ourselves.<\/p>\n
According to a study of 2,310 parents by\u00a0vouchercloud.com, in a typical month, 56 per cent totalled up the amount they spend on their children exceeded the amount they spend on themselves.<\/p>\n
This included money being spent on leisure, clothes, shoes and time with friends.<\/p>\n
A 20 per cent said they spent the same amount on themselves as their children, with just 16 per cent allocating more money to their own interests.<\/p>\n
The average spend per month per child came to \u00a3124, but 36 per cent said this was more than they could afford causing them to struggle with family finances.<\/p>\n
