Hungary's Christmas markets, once symbols of affordable holiday cheer, are now marred by economic difficulties, with surging energy prices and the country's highest inflation rates. Krisztina Kovács, a pottery vendor, has increased her prices by 20 percent due to rising production costs, making items less affordable for locals. Despite a decrease from last year's 26 percent inflation, Hungary still faces high prices, as explained by Peter Akos Bod, former Governor of the Hungarian National Bank. The markets, while attracting tourists, highlight the shift from festive joy to financial strain for many Hungarians.

A study reveals that 45% of British postcode districts are 'rental traps' where families cannot afford to buy mid-priced homes, and 13% are unaffordable to rent. The data from TwentyCi shows property prices exceeding bank loan-to-income ratios, with the affordability gap widening as house prices have outpaced earnings since 1997. The Guardian's analysis, assuming a 10% deposit, highlights the difficulty of saving for a deposit due to high rents and living costs. London is particularly inaccessible, with 72% of districts unaffordable to rent or buy for median-wage couples. In contrast, 91% of Scottish and 90% of North-East England districts are affordable. The UK government cites over 860,000 first-time buyers assisted since 2010 and aims to build more affordable homes. The analysis methodology includes median property costs per postcode and median gross annual pay from the ONS, with affordability based on mortgage and rent costs relative to combined salaries.

Childcare costs in the UK are among the highest of leading economies, posing significant challenges for parents. The government's plan to expand free childcare schemes by September 2025 is seen as insufficient by experts, with no workforce plan in place, potentially increasing pressure on nurseries. Providers are concerned about the viability of their services due to underfunding and the expansion of free schemes. A Department for Education survey indicated that cost pressures might lead to closures of childcare providers. The government's tax-free childcare initiative has also been underutilized, with a £2.4bn underspend. Campaigners argue that the poorest children are excluded from reforms, and universal credit-dependent parents, mostly women, could be driven into debt. The Department for Education claims it is making the single biggest investment in childcare in England, with plans to spend £8bn annually by 2027-28. The Guardian's interactive calculator, advised by Coram Childcare and Family, helps parents estimate childcare costs, but does not replace official information.
