Many families are now having to work harder to balance the household finances – pay freezes, reduced hours and sadly redundancies are all having a significant effect.
Recent research shows that the difficult climate continues to bite, with more and more families having to go without their family holiday simply so that they can fund everyday necessities.
Over a fifth of families admitting to not being able to afford a family holiday.
Families feel the impact…
Over half of the families surveyed, who had missed out on their family holiday, said it had caused disappointment, with one in ten saying it had led to family arguments.
Almost one in five also admitted to paying out for other treats to make up for it, defeating the object somewhat.
Finding a solution…
Rather than cancel their family holiday, over a third of us said we had taken action to avoid having to do this.
The most popular solutions to the problem were to cut back on other non-essential spending, working extra hours or taking on a part time job, relying on others such as parents or grandparents to cover the cost, or sharing with other families to bring the cost down.
Kleeneze distributors are self-employed and can work the hours they want. The company continues to see a significant number of new recruits who sell Kleeneze products as a second job on top of existing full-time employment.
Exactly how I started Kleeneze back in 1997 🙂
