A recent report into the impact the cost-of-living crisis is having in Scotland has revealed that just over a quarter of the population (26%) have seen family relationships suffer due to financial pressures.
The survey was conducted by marketing firm The Union. They questioned 1,005 adults in Scotland and discovered how the cost-of-living crisis is having a detrimental impact, not only on family life, but on the health of Scots, too, with 75% of those interviewed reporting an increase in stress because of the economic crisis, and 35% having trouble sleeping.
This is a scenario Chris Malloch, head of Cleanslate, the Scottish debt solution experts, recognises. “An increasing number of people are contacting us to seek advice on debt management. Having a plan to deal with debt brings peace of mind. Our clients often tell us that even after their very first conversation with our advisers, a weight lifts from their shoulders and they sleep better at night.” said Chris.
