According to the latest poll by Techne, a London-based market and data research company, over 67% of residents in the UK expect problems paying for heating and electric bills.

For 58% of British citizens, the cost of living remains a priority concern.

More than 80% of the 1,642 people polled indicated they will avoid expensive purchases, while 55% expect to cut back on spending on leisure activities. 37% indicated they will try to save money on clothing.

Meanwhile, just 31% of respondents named Ukraine as a major source of worry. Almost a third of those polled indicated the Eastern European country's problems and Western anti-Russia sanctions will push back the date they may retire.
