Money MattersDo you feel like your money is in control of you rather than you in control of it? Does it seem to you that there's more month left than there is money? If so, you're not alone. Did you know that in the last 10 years, the cost of living has risen by 50%, whilst wages have only gone up by 25%. Here's some statistics that are frightening:- - The average household in the UK now owes approximately £7,800, and that does not include mortgages.
- 20% of people are regularly using loans and credit cards just to survive until payday.
- One in six households are now struggling to pay their energy bill.
- Two out of three relationship issues are reported to be "mainly" due to money management issues.
In many ways, our education systems are failing to teach us how to manage our money. We believe that Money Matters, and our team are trained to be able to help you start keeping good records, and to help you prepare a realistic budget.
