Clint Wagestream member

“I’ve never known anything like it before”

“When I’ve had bad experiences with money, it can get very claustrophobic. Since the pandemic I think it’s got a lot worse for people generally - wages are realistically going down instead of up, and it’s not meeting people’s day to day living costs; and I think that’s the crux of the issue - that people struggle to get through from week 1 to week 4. You feel like the walls are closing in. For example, when I started my job, it was 6 weeks until you got paid - and that’s quite a long time to wait for your money.”
