Average UK family has less money to spend on luxuries than four years ago

Slow growth in wages means that UK families don't have much extra cash to spend on luxuries such as cinema trips and holidays.

The average UK family had 'disposable income' of £155 a week in February. That's a 2% increase over the last year, but is £2 a week lower than the equivalent figure in 2009.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
