Youngsters typically expect to earn £1.5 million a year when they grow up and reckon a loaf of bread costs £15, according to a new survey from Halifax.
The bank's research on the money expectations of eight to 15-year-olds also revealed a gender gap in expected earnings, with boys believing they'll be paid £2 million a year, compared to girls who expect just £1.1 million a year. On average they expected to retire at the age of 56.
Despite these optimistic predictions, the survey also found four-fifths of parents insist their children understand the value of money, and 84% are confident teaching their children about money.

The parents are as delusional as the kids.
