The age at which Brits are most spontaneous has been revealed as 31 – although spontaneity quickly drops to its lowest by the age of 37. A lack of responsibility (47 per cent) and a desire to have fun (51 per cent) contribute to the early thirties being the most impulsive time in an adult's life.
Buying a car (15 per cent) and going on a last-minute date (15 per cent) are among the spur-of-the-moment decisions Brits have taken – while one in ten (11 per cent) have even got married on a whim. Two in five (39 per cent), out of 1,000 adults polled, claim they have less fear in their early thirties – while more disposable income (40 per cent) and fewer financial commitments (44 per cent) also helps.
But responsibilities ramp up quickly for 42 per cent – and spontaneity dips by the age of 37, thanks to having a young family (37 per cent), and the need to be more sensible (30 per cent). However, nearly half of adults (47 per cent) wish they were more spontaneous in life – especially when it comes to their social lives (37 per cent), friendships (31 per cent), and travelling (29 per cent).
