A study has found that out of all the different type of households in the UK, families nearly have the most spare cash out of everyone.
The study, which was conducted by insurers SunLife, polled 3,000 UK households in their annual "Cash Happy" report to find out whether money really does make people happier.
According to the research, it was found that instead of needing millions of pounds to achieve happiness, people only need an extra £38 a week or £167 a month to be happy.

The survey also found that of all the households polled, young families had the second most spare cash left over.
WE KNOW. What?! That can't be right!

Where on EARTH this spare cash is going, we really don't know - if anyone finds it, could they please tell us?!
But the study also found that one in four people admitted that they live beyond their means, and almost one in 20 people go into the red over £1,000 every month.
