Money problems leave us sitting in on a Saturday
Financial pressures and stresses of modern life are leaving us unhappy with our social lives, according to new research.
Alomst a quarter of us admit to not going out on a Saturday night due to money worries and overa third stay in regularly because they need to relax.
The poll of over 2,000 adults in the UK, gives an insight into the average Brits' social life in 2011 and reveals we aren't the sociable nation you might think.
Almost a third of respondents admit to staying in every Saturday nigth, It seems even the festive season can't coax into socialising more with a quarter of respondents saying they won't increase the amount they go out during the Christmas period.
"Brits have a reputation for always being out having a good time, but our survey shows that perhaps people aren't as sociable as we might think," explains Lloyd Price, a spokesman for Badoo.com, which carried out the study.
"Money worries are certainly having an impact but it's clear that people would welcome new ways to meet like-minded people to improve their social life."
And it doesn't look to be improving any time soon, with more than half of respondents saying that they won't be going out on one of the busiest nights of the year, New Year's Eve.
