Millions of families are “struggling with a growing mountain of personal debt” over the cost of living crisis, reports the Daily Mail. The paper says “startling research” has revealed the standard household has an average of £16,200 in “unsecured debt” like loans, overdrafts and credit card borrowing (but not mortgage costs) – £1,000 more than this time last year. It also notes that this comes at the same time as the UK’s tax burden is at its highest level since World War II.
