Almost everyone wants to own their own home but did you know men are less likely than women to want to buy?

We surveyed 150 adults from the age 25 to 34 asking them what they would do if they were handed enough money that they could put down a deposit on a property.

Question	Answer
• I would buy a property	67%
• I would buy a car	11%
• I would spend it on travelling	12%
• I would use it for living costs	6%
• I would invest it in shares/stocks	3%
• None of the above	1%

We then broke down the statistics further between genders and found that your choices varied if you were male or female.

Question	Male	Female
• I would buy a property	52%	72%
• I would buy a car	21%	8%
• I would spend it on travelling	9%	13%
• I would use it for living costs	6%	6%
• I would invest it in shares/stocks	12%	1%
• None of the above	0%	1%

Just 52% of men would indeed go ahead and buy a home, compared to 72% of women. 

Men would be 12 times more likely to invest their windfall into the stock market and 2.5 times more likely to blow it on a new car. 

Women are keener to spend the money travelling, with 13% happy to spend it on a mega-holiday versus 9% of men surveyed.

Now, we ask, how would you spend a gifted deposit? Would you get a house or spend it on that dream holiday? We’re very keen to know!
