Jumătate dintre români nu îşi mai pot plăti întreţinerea la timp. Facturile au ajuns la 20% din venituri

Many Romanians struggle to pay their utility bills on time, with average monthly costs reaching 950 lei. As expenses rise, nearly 20% of family income is spent on bills, a figure expected to increase in winter. While income growth is slow at 3.2%, expenses have surged by 4.5%, leading to a loss in purchasing power. Many families are now relying on savings to cover daily costs, with 40% falling behind on utility payments in the past year. Analysts suggest that the burden of rising taxes and contributions is exacerbating the financial strain on households, particularly those with lower incomes.
