Money woes: Shock number of Brits admit they struggle to pay bills
A survey of 2,000 UK adults revealed 43 per cent are short of the cash they need to pay the bills
It's hard to cut back when it's the basic bills you are finding it difficult to pay
But one quarter said money is an uphill battle for them every single month.
The average adult is forced to turn to their credit cards or overdraft to get them through to payday four out of every 12 months, with one in 10 saying this is the case each month.
Six in 10 even went as far as to say they feel they are never going to make ends meet on their current salary.
Louise Harper-King, spokeswoman for OnePoll.com which carried out the research, said: “With rising costs and wages not following suit, it's not a surprise so many people are struggling.
“Living costs are getting more expensive each year, whether it's the fuel we need to put in our cars, utility bills or the price of food.
