The survey shows that over 955,000 Britons would leave their partner if financially independent.

Almost a third (29%) would leave their jobs if they had enough money.
A nation on the move, (41%) of people would travel the world with financially security.
According to a survey from Kaupthing Edge, financial security and independence really does buy freedom for Brits.

Seems 30% of Britons state they are reliant on their partner or spouse for financial security. Over 955,000 Brits would leave their partner if they were financially secure for life. Surprising fact but Love appeared to falter in the older age group with 346,000 Brits saying they would leave their partner compared to only 135,000 of 18-34 year olds.

Britons are certainly a society on the move with (41%) of people saying they would travel the world and a further (29%) leaving their job if they had financial security. Nearly a third of men (28%) believe the grass is greener in another country and would move abroad compared to less than a fifth (18%) of women.

Despite of great wish to be financially independent few achieve this goal. Of those Britons who do have money left over at the end of each month, (53%) leave their money languishing in a low interest account rather than transferring to a high interest savings account.
