As incomes are squeezed and millions of Britons put nothing aside, the savings expert explains how best to build a healthy bank account

Household finances are under pressure – earlier this year the Resolution Foundation thinktank described it as “an unprecedented income squeeze over the past decade”. Martin Lewis, founder of Money Saving Expert, agrees: “There are people in this country who have less income than their minimum outgoings, and that is a real crisis,” he says.

Spring forward, fall back: who changes the clocks when, and whyWe examine where daylight saving time came from and why it doesn’t actually save daylight at all I always found this saying tricky as I fall forwards most times, and if I see a creepy crawly unexpectedly near a light switch I spring back.
