The British public has around £250 less disposable income than they did last year thanks to the cost of living crisis, according to new research.
In a study of 2,000 adults, conducted by MoneyBox, gas and electricity bills on average cost around £100 more a month than last year to around £248.
Participants of the study were forking out just over £60 more each month for housing costs compared to 12 months ago.
