Australians cannot account for $59 in cash each week – around one third of their total cash spend and one of the highest proportionately in the world, according to a new survey commissioned by Visa.
The international research surveyed more than 12,000 adults in 12 markets around the world (including 1,003 Australian consumers) asking respondents to estimate their “mystery spending,” or the cash they spend but cannot account for every week.
The survey shows that Australians cannot account for $59 a week, 34 percent of their total $176 cash spend a week and equivalent to $3,068 per person each year.
