OWNING a ‘best’ crockery set, cooking from scratch and no longer relying on the bank of mum and dad are some of the signs of becoming an adult, according to the results of a survey.
However, when it comes to ‘financial adulthood’, residents in the Midlands do not feel they’ve made it until they’ve bought a house, the TopCashback study found.
Sixty-two per cent of people asked in the area said they wouldn’t feel they’d done so until they had a foot on the property ladder.
Other indicators of financial adulthood included having a child, renting a flat, paying for a wedding and buying a car.
