Family finances: 85% are in favor of openness, but only a third actually talk about it.
A sociological study timed for July 8 recorded an interesting paradox. 85% of Russians believe that financial openness in the family is necessary. In practice, however, a systematic dialogue about money with children is established in only 38% of households. Another 49% of parents discuss this topic occasionally, while 13% prefer not to bring it up at all.
Regional differences are noticeable. In Moscow and the Northwest region (excluding St. Petersburg), 43% and 48% of families regularly talk about finances with their children. In the North Caucasus and the Far East, this number is halved — 22% and 28%, respectively.
The structure of family budgets is also heterogeneous. 40% of Russians fully combine their incomes. However, the mixed format is most common (48%): a common fund for major goals — housing, vacations, education — while each spouse retains personal funds. Only 12% maintain separate finances, and in Moscow, this figure is higher (15%) than in St. Petersburg.
The expense items paid from the common budget are distributed predictably. The undisputed leaders are children's education (83%), utilities (79%), vacations (76%), everyday purchases (73%), and healthcare (69%). However, digital subscriptions cause disagreements: only half of the respondents are willing to pay for them jointly.
In a survey conducted by Sberbank, attitudes towards joint banking products were also studied. 80% are aware of such services, 20% already use them, and 59% are considering this possibility. The most popular tool is regular transfers to relatives (39%). Next are joint savings and shared cashback (20% each), payment from one card (18%), and joint deposits (15%).
Interestingly, in everyday care for loved ones, finances are not the top priority. More often, Russians show attention through emotional support (55%), practical help (49%), and maintaining closeness (54%). Financial support was mentioned by only 31% — it falls behind non-material forms of participation.
