26th Sep '08 ? Second Jobs Vs Secured Loans

Posted on Friday, September 26th, 2008 at 2:09pm
Are you one of the 26 per cent of parents who admitted that they had a second job to make ends meet, despite spending less time with the kids?

Or how about one of the 59 per cent who said not wanting children to miss out on cultural trips or sport lessons resulted in them spending more, as research by NS&I found.

"It is only natural that British parents should want to put their children first and make sure that they have the best opportunities available, but this is having a significant impact on their wallets," says senior savings spokesman of NS&I Tim Mack.

If you are feeling the pinch, you could consider secured loans to help financially.
