Energy costs versus incomes
Families on a low income face spending more than a quarter of the money they have left after paying their mortgage or rent on energy bills from April next year. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation says it's even tougher for single people on a low income with no children, where it rises to more than two thirds. The calculations are based on latest predictions from the energy analyst Cornwall Insight, which says the typical annual bill could reach more than £3,300 in the new year. The data also shows that the government's £37 billion support package has reduced costs this year. We'll get reaction from the government, the energy regulator Ofgem, and Energy UK who represent the industry.
It's not long until school's out for summer, in England and Wales at least - Scotland and Northern Ireland are already deep into that school summer break. We'll take a look at what financial support is on offer for families to help with costs.
How rising inflation is pushing more people into higher tax bands and what you can do about it.
And the listener who paid off her mortgage, only to discover the bank had used her money to pay off someone else’s.

How changes at the top of government could affect your money
It's been quite the week in politics and on this week's Money Box we'll take a look at what it could mean for your personal finances.
One of the biggest challenges the next PM will face is the economy and the many households feeling the squeeze.
It's thought some of the candidates favour tax cuts, but there's also pressure to increase taxes to control government borrowing.
Heather Self a tax expert at Blick Rothenberg and Tom Selby from the investment company AJ Bell will discuss.
According to a new report, out on Monday, more people are falling behind with at least one household bill as the cost of living rises.
Money Box has been given an early look at the Coronavirus Financial Impact Tracker, which suggests one-in-six households are now ‘in serious financial difficulty' compared to one-in-ten in October. Debt is also climbing - particularly among people who were already struggling. We'll speak to Professor Sharon Collard from the University of Bristol, who is one of the authors of the financial impact report which is funded by the Aberdeen Financial Fairness Trust. Plus advice from the debt charity Stepchange.
Also, if you ignore a current account for too long - can your bank really take your money? And how hard is it to get it back? Our reporter Dan Whitworth investigates.
