Single mum Michelle Steele dreams of owning her own home - but the cost of living crisis has forced her to dramatically cut her savings.
The 44-year-old, an assistant manager working at a UK bank, lives in a rented flat in southeast London with her son Louis, aged 16.
She used to put away £100 from her salary each month toward a house deposit, but has now had to slash this by 75% to £25 due to rising costs.
