When you think about your income, spending, savings, and any property you own, do you consider yourself richer or poorer than average? 💰

Use our new calculator which compares your financial situation with other households (data is from pre #COVID19) 🧮 ow.ly/bYZ650IeIJp

1 in 3 households spent more than their income before #COVID19 💳

Some households may be able to maintain higher spending by using financial buffers accumulated over their lifetime, but others may need to make cutbacks, or borrow, to make up the shortfall.

Smaller households were the most likely to be spending more than their income and those not retired lacked a sufficient financial buffer.

A financial buffer is made up of cash (money in current accounts), savings and other easy-to-access assets such as shares.

Our latest #COVID19 data show those who reported having travelled abroad in the last 28 days continued to be more likely to test positive than those who had not in the fortnight up to 12 February 2022 ow.ly/O92z50I7NXB

Latest #COVID19 data also show those working in the education sector were more likely to test positive than other working adults (in the fortnight up to 12 February 2022).

This is likely because of the high infection levels in school children.

In those who tested positive for #COVID19, the percentage reporting losing their sense of taste or smell continued to decrease between December 2021 and January 2022.
