Everything you need to know about “Cost of Living”
The Cost of Living crisis followed the pandemic has made life challenging for everyone. From housing to groceries, the prices seemed to climb steadily, outpacing wage growth and squeezing the budgets of families and individuals.
The housing crisis deepened, with high interest rates, skyrocketing rents and property prices making it increasingly difficult for many to secure stable and affordable accommodation.
