22nd April 2022
It’s always nice to see a bit more money each month after a promotion, so we wanted to know how you spend it. Less than 10% of those surveyed keep their spending the same, choosing to put the difference into savings. Over a quarter are similarly restrained, splurging on a congratulatory treat before reining in the spending. The remaining 64% consistently spend more, some taking the approach that they’ve worked hard for that extra income, and the rest unintentionally letting their expenses increase.
| Do your spending habits change when you get a promotion? | Results |
| A bit, it’s so easy to let lifestyle creep in! | 37% |
| I’ll splurge on a treat the first payday and then rein it in | 27% |
| Absolutely – I worked hard to live better! | 27% |
| My spending doesn’t change, I put the difference into savings | 9% |
April is National Pet Month, and we’re asking how much do you splurge on them?
