One the biggest findings is that money makes many people feel bad. Researchers say 40 per cent us always worry spending money; a third us constantly worry about money; and the same percentage feel guilty when spending money themselves. The study found that women like to go shopping to make themselves feel better life, while men are more likely to save their cash. Women are more generous their money and are also more likely to suffer money problems.

The researchers also looked ways shops try and make us spend our money. It showed how stores are continually looking new ways to make us buy things impulse. It asks why candies and chocolate are always the checkout in supermarkets; why "everyday essentials like bread and milk are at the shop so you have to walk as many aisles as possible to reach them;" and why the perfume and jewellery sections are always at the of a department store. The test says that buying things impulse can be bad our finances: "People who bought goods impulsively were three times more likely to go bankrupt, and four times more likely to run of money by the end of the week."
