Living alone is expensive enough as it is, so I went through the UK Budget to see what some of the changes could actually mean for those of us paying for an entire household on one income.
There are a few things that could make a difference, from changes to gas standing charges, to the £100 household energy payment, electricity costs and fuel duty.
None of it suddenly makes living alone cheap, obviously 😂 but when every mortgage/rent payment, energy bill, food shop, insurance payment and everything else comes out of one income, even the smaller savings matter.
