Sofa Savings

How often do you lose something down the back of your sofas and end up finding some cash instead of what you were actually searching for? If you are strapped for cash and your sofas are not as comfortable as you remember, you might want to stand up and look down the cracks in your sofas now and find a hidden fortune.

A new study has revealed that more than £57 Million is lost down the back of sofas in Britain every year. People individually on average lose £1.43 in lose change each year in things like furniture and old wallets.

“It’s astounding when you think about how much money is potentially waiting to be found. People take out loans and get credit cards every day, but perhaps they should start looking down the back of their sofa, in old coat pockets and under the bed for a bit of extra cash.”

That is such a massive sum of money, way more than we ever raise together for things like comic relief or children in need. It just goes to show the awesome power we could have if we all gave a little effort into one united goal. I wonder if we all looked down the back of our sofa and gave the discovered money we found to charity, if it would really come to £50 Million. Just imagine the difference that could make to peoples lives.
