What Would You Do to Avoid Your Bill Payments?
Would you give up sex for six months?
One in five women would in exchange for someone else covering their bills for a month, according to a new survey by market research firm Toluna on behalf of BillFloat. With 42 percent of workers say that they typically live paycheck to paycheck, it’s no surprise that we’re also struggling to pay our monthly bills.
The most interesting part of the survey is that respondents were asked what they would be willing to give up in order for someone else to take care of their bills for a month. Here’s how they responded:
- 25% would turn of the television.
- 21% would ditch their digital devices or cell phones.
- 21% of women would abstain from sex for six months; only 14% of men would be willing to hold out for that long.
- 14% would give up Internet services for a month.
We were wondering what the Credit Karma community would give up for a month to have their bills paid? Let us know!
