As of April, inflation in the UK rose 3.5%, much larger than expected.

The jump is mostly due to the promotion of rising household bills such as natural gas, electricity, and especially water.

Last month, the minimum wage and some benefits increased, but for many, it doesn’t cover its daily expenses.

Tracy McGuigan-Haigh, 47, told the BBC that the cost of everyday items was simply “going too far.”

Tracy works in retail and she is suitable for caring for her 11-year-old daughter. She earns £1,200 a month and gets about £400 a month in universal credit payments - but that's not far enough.

"Even on budget, supermarket stores are getting more and more expensive," she said. "Previously, I needed a trolley worth £40 for food. Now, it doesn't even have a basket full of you and you can hold too many arms in your arms."

Dealing with price increases is a constant struggle. "My juggling was so big that I dropped the ball," Tracy said.

"Someone will 'will get better', but even if there is something improvement now, what is the support for those on the floor?"

Ieuan Hood is a father of three who is meticulous in his financial situation - he knows where every penny is going.

The 30-year-old, who works full-time at a Call Center near Huddersfield, said he has gained universal credibility on his salary. His benefits payments rose 1.7% last month, but the bills have been eliminated.

"It almost didn't seem to happen," he told the BBC.

IEUAN said his monthly salary is about £1,600. General Credit rose as much as £2,500, and his child benefits received another £240.

“It sounds like a lot of money to say it out loud,” he said. “But the first bill I pay every month is my child care bill, which is £1,700.

“Rent is £500, food shopping is about £700, shipping is £150. I also have water bills, energy bills, TV, phone and city council taxes.

"By the time I was finished, I looked at it for months and I had nothing left," he said.

Peter Murphy, 80, from Stockport, has a pension for a junior teacher, a state pension and his main BT pension, with a total annual income of about £25,000.

The rising cost of living means he and his wife have reduced their vacation abroad.

Peter told your voice that your BBC news says inflation “will keep me poor every year” because his pension is not as high as bills.

"I can only spend a lot of money," he said.

“My teacher’s pension and BT pension rose 1.8% in April. My BT broadband contract and my mobile contract and all other contract services also grew 3% at a higher rate, plus inflation rose 3%. Plus service levels, such as roaming.

“The price and some food I can understand.”

He said regulators like Ofcom "have the right to stop these recent practices, but don't."
