Some 11% of respondents would take out a loan to balance their family coffers.

Typically, mention was made of an unexpected, larger expense, such as a boiler replacement, that they would not be able to pay in one lump sum.

One-third of the respondents live from their income comfortably, but two-thirds have an incomplete family budget.

This deficit means about HUF 100,000 for the majority (34%) on a monthly basis.
