Ten per cent of Scots are left with no money after paying for bills and essentials, according to new analysis.
Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) says that the ten per cent equates to around 452,958 people based on Scotland's population, and the stark findings come before energy prices are set to soar even further in October.
The research, based on polling of 1,416 people by YouGov, found that a further 18% of those polled said they had less than £125 left over each month after paying essential expenses - with CAS estimating around 1.2 million are in the same position across Scotland.
