Money can be a turbulent topic among family and friends, so last month we wondered how willing you would be to lend £1,000. Just 13% would say yes without hesitation, while 20% would on the condition it would be paid back. A third of those surveyed would decide based on what it was needed for, and the remaining third would refuse – 13% – because they don’t have the money to spare, and the final 20% because they don’t want to risk the friendship over the transaction.
| Would you lend £1,000 to a friend or family? | Results |
Sure, they’d do the same for me | 13% |
| I would if I was sure they’d pay me back | 20% |
| Depends on what they wanted it for | 34% |
| I don’t have that amount spare even if I wanted to share | 13% |
| Nope, I don’t want to risk tension in our friendship over repayment | 20% |
The Christmas countdown has officially started, so this month we want to know what part of the festivities your money is going on. Let us know here.
