With the rising cost of fuel, food and even football season tickets dominating the media, it seems you’re never too far away from the mention of monetary doom and gloom.
As the worldwide credit crunch has an effect on our way of living, many are now feeling the pinch on their mortgages, the weekly shop and the credit cards used in their debt management.
Banks and credit card companies continue to pile the pressure on customers as the credit crunch worsens. As the numbers of those seeking debt solutions has been growing rapidly during these difficult times, many are left wondering just how far their next pay packet will last them.
And the trend is even beginning to be reflected on Britain’s high streets. According to recent research consumer spending is on a rapid decline; with high street stores and restaurants seeing less customers as rising utility bills force us to think about what we’re spending our money on.
As many of us have to reduce our spending in order to ensure we have enough to eat, drink and pay our bills, retailers have not been seeing the boom business that existed in the early 90’s.
It’s not just high street shops that are feeling the brunt of consumer reductions. Hotels, bars and restaurants are also feeling the pinch as more of us choose to have nights in rather than splash out on an expensive night out in order to save money.
More of us are now seeking help from debt consolidation services in order to make our money last. But for those looking for further methods of controlling their finances – such as credit cards and loans – could find rates rising before too long as lenders feel the pinch also. By: David Collins
