whilst it is true that the minimum wage has outpaced inflation, and the nil rate band has also increased considerably, the single biggest cost that most people face will be housing. Given house prices rise on average about 10% per annum, we shouldn't crack open the champagne just yet, given many people are finding it more difficult to get on the housing ladder.
