What is the cost of living crisis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe began to hear about the \u201cCost of Living Crisis\u201d at the start of April 2022, and many of us began to question what caused the crisis and how we could save money with prices rising. From our housing costs, food prices, and energy bills, to all of our living costs, due to the nature of the crisis, many key workers are facing financial struggles, but what is actually causing the crisis? Here are several core elements that are contributing to the crisis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- High demand for oil and gas.<\/li>
- Inflation<\/li>
- the War in Ukraine<\/li>
- Shortages in staff across various sectors, including hospitality and transport.<\/li>
- Shortages of certain goods due to supply chain disruptions across the globe. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What is the average monthly cost of living in the UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOn average, most UK households will spend around \u00a3588 per week (\u00a32548 per month) of their household incomes to cover the cost of living. This includes rent\/mortgages, food, daily essentials, the clothes on our back and travel expenses. However, the location and salary will heavily impact the average cost of living in the UK. For example, the cost of living in London compared to Manchester will differ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
