The Post Office handled £801m personal cash withdrawals in July – a record figure and an 8% increase on the month before. The Post Office said this change in behaviour suggested that the cost of living was impacting the way people manage their money.

It coincides with the rapid rise in food prices and energy costs and seems to suggest that we are still some years away from switching to a cashless society.

In the year of three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors, a catastrophic ‘mini-Budget’ and double-digit inflation, the UK stock market was one of the world’s best major market performers, eking out a small gain where most others recorded a loss. The MSCI All Country World Index – a good benchmark for Global plc – fell by 9.7% in sterling terms.

Despite eking out a small gain, investors should not ignore the importance of investment diversification.

The Autumn Statement froze the inheritance tax (IHT) nil rate band (NRB) and residence nil rate band for another two years, to April 2028. Had the NRB been inflation-proofed since it was fixed in April 2009, it would be over £140,000 higher next April.

IHT year end planning takes advantage of the various annual exemptions which, with one limited exception, cannot be carried forward. In 2022/23 lifetime gifts of existing investments are also worth considering, taking advantage of the current CGT annual exempt amount and lower market values.

The retirement market changed considerably in 2022, largely driven by market volatility and soaring inflation. Your retirement plan may have been knocked off its original course and require review.

The state pension age has been 66 since October 2020, leaving anyone retiring at the traditional pension age of 65 with a 12-month income shortfall of £185 a week, based on the current state pension. State pension age is due to start increasing again in just over three years, with the two-year phasing in of age 67 beginning in April 2026.

The good news is that, as of now, inflation looks set to drop in 2023, but is it too late to reverse the damage inflicted by 2022’s CPI?

One point to remember is that a falling inflation rate does not mean overall prices are falling, so your financial planning may well need a review to take account of the damage inflicted by 2022’s CPI.

People born between 1st Sept 2002 and 2 January 2011 were lucky recipients of a government handout locked away in a Child Trust Fund.
