Britons urged to make finances "work harder"

Britons are being encouraged to prudently save their hard-earned cash in order to indulge themselves with the things they really enjoy.

The call follows a survey carried out by the Motley Fool which indicates that with over two-thirds of Britons unhappy with the amount of leisure time they receive, more than half would happily pay their employer for an extra hour each day.

To pay for an extra hour off work each day, the average Britons say they would be content to pay some £1,280 annually, some £5 a day, to enjoy the privilege.

If granted an extra hour's leisure time each day, over half of Britons said they would spend more time with their family and friends, while a fifth said they would go to a concert, theatre show or sporting event.

David Kuo, head of personal finance at Fool.co.uk, concurred with the aspiration for more leisure time among Britons and suggested that they would be able to use their time more profitably if their finances were made to work harder.

"By just making a few small changes like putting away five pence in every pound you earn can help turn every month into a good month for your personal finances," he added.
