Recently, I met a single mum, Susan*. She can’t afford meat or fresh veggies and often skips meals to save money so she can afford her prescriptions. Susan is living on jobseeker.
A car is out of the question, public transport weighs heavily on her budget and lightbulbs are something she has decided she’ll have to do without. So she moves her one remaining lightbulb from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom each night.
