Media request: families with children who are worried they won't have much cash left over for retirement due to the cost of raising kids

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

Hi all,

I am a journalist at The Sun and I am looking to speak to parents who would class their child as a KIPPER (Kids in Parents' Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings).

This is a slang term for adult children who are still living at home with their parents even after finishing school and reaching working age.

Their parents face the challenges of managing their own finances and planning for retirement while dealing with the added expense of housing and feeding their adult children.

If this is your experience, would you be open to speaking about it? How have you managed and do you think this term is fair given the rising cost of living and tough jobs market.

If you are keen please contact [email protected]
