The Office for National Statistics reported that the price of consumer goods are increasing at the highest rate in almost 30 years. On 23 March, Chancellor Rishi Sunak introduced new measures to tackle the cost of living crisis in the Spring Budget, but did he go far enough?  With people having to choose between heating their homes and buying their groceries, what can we do to cope with the current cost living crisis? What is causing it, when will it all be over and of course how does your pension fits into all of this?   Joining us to discuss this are Clare Reilly, Chief Engagement Officer at PensionBee, Lynn Beattie, personal finance expert and Managing Director of Mrs Mummypenny, and Scott Mowbray, Chief Communications Officer & Co-founder at Snoop.
