One in 7 have no disposable cash at end of month

Almost one in seven adults have no disposable income left at the end of the month according to the latest What’s Left? survey from the Irish League of Credit Unions.

Nonetheless at 483,000 adults, there are 35,000 fewer people than last year claiming they have no money left once their household bills have been paid.

However, the November tracker — the first since the latest budget — does show that the amount of disposable income has fallen since the last survey in August, down by €12 to €171.
