A Wirral carer said he is unable to get any enjoyment out of life due to the cost of living crisis.
Chris Furlong, 31, from Tranmere, a care worker, said he is working “all the hours” and is still only able to afford the rent as the landlord is his mum. Mr Furlong, who rents with his fiancee, said: “I’m not getting any enjoyment at the moment. I just go to work, pay the bills and go to bed.
“It is very deflating. Sometimes I think ‘why am I bothering’.” Mr Furlong said he used to go to lots of gigs but could not afford to buy tickets any more. The only events he was able to go to were with tickets bought before the pandemic.
