Money Box Live: Your spending habits

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Money Box Live: Your spending habits

How easy is it to change your spending habits?

Money Box Live looks at the effect of the rising cost of living on spending behaviour.

Food prices are rising at their fastest rate for more than 40 years. Figures out this week from the Office of National Statistics the price of budget food is up 17% in the 12 months to September - with big increases in the cost of basic ingredients like bread, pasta, cooking oil and tea. 
 
Add spiking transport, rent, mortgage and energy costs to that - and the squeeze on household finances couldn’t be clearer. 
 
We’re looking at what the higher cost of living is doing to our spending behaviour. We’ll be hearing how some of you are keeping costs down - and also looking at potential options for financial support.  

Charmaine Cozier will be joined by experts, Krystle McGilvery, a Behavioural Finance Consultant, and Michael Clarke, Head of Information Programmes at Turn2us.
