Can Brits handle the tough times ahead?

With rising fuel, food and housing prices, family budgets are being squeezed to their tightest in 50 years, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics, and things are looking even bleaker for the upcoming year.

But can the credit generation learn to curb their spendthrift ways and economise in all areas of their lifestyle? How will we deal with a return to the bleak economics of the post-war years? Have your say.
