Call You and Yours: Are you struggling with the cost of living?

After years of wages growing below the price of goods, are you struggling to meet the cost of living? Presented by Louise Minchin.

Wages have been growing below the rate of inflation since 2008, according to the Office of National Statistics.

So what has it meant for you?

Are you cutting back and changing your habits? Has it meant real hardship if you're not able to work?

The ONS gives the average national salary as 拢27,200 per year, but is that average way beyond the reality for you, despite working every hour you can?

Or perhaps you're prepared to admit that the cost of living hasn't really affected you - whether it's through luck, hard work or budgeting?
