Tell us: how are your finances looking ahead of the Spring Forecast?

Next Tuesday the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, will update the country on the state of the economy when the Spring Forecast is delivered to parliament.

The government is not expected to make major announcements on taxes and spending but will include the latest forecasts for growth, details of the UK’s financial position and hint at the changes we might expect in future.

We would like to hear from you. How are you feeling about your finances right now and has anything improved or worsened over the past year?
