A new survey for Citizens Advice Scotland by YouGov has revealed that one in five people in Scotland are running out of money before payday.
The research showed that nine per cent of people always run out of money before payday and a further 11 per cent said they run out most of the time - payday includes wages, benefits and pension payments.
The figures are five per cent higher than the same period last year and the news from Ofgem today that the price cap review in October could now be as high as £2,800 is only going to put even more pressure on household finances.
