The poorest 20% of households now spend over 43% of their total spending on food, housing and utilities.

Government figures show that in the latest quarter, income and spending continue to increase, with a slowdown of household conditions, as well as a levelling off of people’s personal well-being and a worsening perception of the future.

These trends may not necessarily be equally distributed across different parts of society; for example, between 2011 and 2016 financial years, the average income for the bottom 20% of households increased by 4.8% or £589 while for the top 20% it increased by 6.7% or £4,123.

However, overall, people perceive the economy and their personal financial situation will worsen over the next 12 months, continuing more pessimistic views seen since the beginning of 2018.
