The Budget - will life get any easier for me?
Policies directed at getting people into work and keeping them there, are central to the Budget - leading to key changes on childcare and pensions.
Hannah is a single mum of two young children from Rutland in the East Midlands. She has several jobs just to try to keep their heads above water - but with the current cost of living, she, like many people in the UK, doesn't find it easy. So will the Chancellor's Spring Budget help? Two of the big things on Hannah's watchlist are energy prices and childcare costs - both of which featured prominently in Jeremy Hunt's statement.
The Chancellor, delivered his Budget in the Commons, saying it would draw people back into the workforce. Labour and other opposition parties said there were missed opportunities to tackle Britain's long term challenges.
For 5 Minutes On, Hannah and the 麻豆社's Business Correspondent, Theo Leggett, consider what's been announced and whether or not the Budget measures will make her life any easier.
