Item 5. Other Events

        Effective October 1, 1995, Household Group, Inc. ("HGI"),
        a wholly-owned subsidiary of Household Finance Corporation
        ("HFC"), sold for cash and stock all the capital stock of
        its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alexander Hamilton Life
        Insurance Company of America ("AHLIC") to Jefferson-Pilot
        Corporation ("JP").  Prior to the closing of this
        transaction, HGI removed from AHLIC and retained all
        business, related assets and liabilities pertaining to
        AHLIC's credit life, accident and health, periodic payment
        and corporate-owned life insurance products so that
        effectively only the individual life and annuity product
        lines ("Transferred Business") were transferred to JP
        pursuant to this transaction.  At sale date, assets related
        to the Transferred Business totaled approximately $6.1
        billion and consisted primarily of investment securities. 
        The purchase price for the Transferred Business was $575
        million.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and
        Exhibits

        (a) Financial statements of business acquired.

            Not applicable.

        (b) Pro forma financial information.

            Unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income
            of Household Finance Corporation and Subsidiaries for
            the year ended December 31, 1995 giving effect to the
            pro forma adjustments related to the sale of Alexander
            Hamilton Life Insurance Company of America as
            described in Item 5 hereof.  The unaudited pro forma
            consolidated statement of income of Household Finance
            Corporation and Subsidiaries for the year ended
            December 31, 1994 was included in the Current Report

The following table presents the historical unaudited consolidated
statement of income for Household Finance Corporation and
Subsidiaries ("HFC") for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the
unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year
ended December 31, 1995 for HFC giving effect to the pro forma
adjustments related to the sale of the individual life and annuity
product lines of Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company of
America ("AHLIC") as described herein.  The pro forma consolidated
statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was
prepared assuming the sale of the selected product lines of AHLIC
took place on January 1, 1995.  HFC does not expect to incur
material charges or credits as a result of the sale of the product
lines of AHLIC on an ongoing basis and has not reflected such in
the pro forma consolidated financial statements below.

For purposes of preparing the pro forma financial statements, HFC
has assumed the cash proceeds from the sale of the product lines of
AHLIC have been used to decrease outstanding debt.  The pro forma
consolidated financial statements presented below do not purport to
represent what the results of operations would have been had the
pro forma adjustments occurred on the dates referred to above or to
be indicative of the future results of operations of HFC.  The pro
forma adjustments are based on available information and certain
assumptions that HFC believes are reasonable.<PAGE>
