Brits would raid their savings to fulfil their lifetime dreams

Brits are willing to raid their accounts offering the best interest rates in order to pay for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A new poll by Scottish Widows revealed that 3.2 million people are willing to sacrifice a month's salary to fulfil their ambitions.

Of the 86 per cent of Brits harbouring fantasies for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, almost half would stretch their finances as far as possible in order to achieve it, with a further 13 per cent happy to spend as much as it takes.

Roger Black MBE, Scottish Widows Ambassador for the London 2012 Games, and Olympic medal winner, said: "A once-in-a-lifetime experience is something to aim for and can be very motivating … It goes to show we can achieve our dreams, if we're willing to commit enough time and effort."
