Money Nut

Over 5million people in the UK think they will be, one day.

Research has found that, despite the downturn in the economy, 15% of 18-24 year olds and 14% of 25 - 34 year olds believe they will earn over £1m in their lifetime.

Attitudes seem to change as soon as they reach 35 - the point where many of us own homes and have a family to support.

There was also a regional divide found - 19% of people in the South West thought they had the potential to be millionaires, whereas only 5% of Scots did.

According to banking firm Coutts, to live a millionaire's lifestyle, these people will have to earn around £3million. So, they will have to live out their hopes and aspirations - three times over.
