Taking multiple holidays is now the norm but a worrying 44% of Brits don't have the cash in place to take them meaning the reliance on credit cards are at an all time high.

However there is an option to ease the financial burden by selling off unwanted clothes, household goods and children's toys on Freeads.co.uk, the UK's largest independent classified site.

Freeads.co.uk chief executive Duncan Horton said: "As people's working lives become increasingly busy and stress filled it seems that the idea of a regular break from the daily routine has come to assume a more and more significant place in most our lives.

"Indeed, it appears that the psychological importance of getting away from it all is beginning to blind many of us to the financial implications inherent in taking multiple expensive holidays over the course of the year."

The average family of four has more than £3,000 in unwanted and unused furniture, clothes, handbags, tools, and children's toys and clothes, according to research by Freeads.co.uk.

Children's items such as good condition prams and buggies are among the most wanted items on Freeads.co.uk as well as being good earners for the seller - top prices for prams on the site have hit £450. Selling unwanted furniture is another good way of earning extra cash.

"If you are considering taking a loan ensure that you get the right advice and see what there is out there. Here at Freeads.co.uk we have a finance centre which is a great place to start if you're looking for advice," said Horton.
