Did you hear this week of a survey done in July?

It reveals nearly 1 in 4 UK adults could not afford an unexpected bill of £200.

The YouGov poll found 28% UK adults felt financially insecure, while more than 1/4 skip meals at least once a month to make ends meet.

The study, commissioned by debt charity Christians vs Poverty (CAP), says 14.7 million adults find keeping up with bills & credit commitments a heavy burden.

The poll of over 2,000 adults suggests the cost of living crisis is leading to a rise in people unable to cope with unexpected costs.
