Miserably Ever After

Miserably Ever After: Home | Regional Statistics | News Release

There’s no doubting that two incomes are better than one and by sharing the cost of living with a partner, you can often have a better lifestyle – a bigger house, newer car or more exotic holidays. But how hard is it to give all that up if your relationship starts to turn sour?

Findings from our latest research show that 69% of people said they would be worse off if they split from their partner, while one in 10 said if money wasn’t an issue, they’d leave their partner immediately. The high cost of modern living is blamed for the rise in couples choosing money over love – 75% of respondents believe the reason the number of couples who can’t afford to break up has risen over the last five years is because having large amounts of equity in a property makes it difficult to buy out a partner.

For anyone deciding to make the break, we have a range of investments and mortgages to help you make the most of your money. If you want advice, pop into your local branch, call us on 08457 171777* or click on the link to our press release to find out more.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
