  • AMP reckons that while cost of living is crunching across all income levels… part time workers, single parents and women are feeling it the most.

💡 While the words ‘cost of living’ and ‘inflation’ are often thrown around willy nilly, the direct impact of these significant changes are rarely addressed.

💡Financial stress is the double whammy that nobody asked for.

  • On a personal level, it isn't just tough on bank accounts - it brings feelings of shame, anger or fear.
  • On a business level, it leads to lower productivity and lost motivation too.
