Births, marriages and divorces on hold.

High costs delay weddings, divorces and new babies. The UK’s cost of living crisis is causing wealthy Britons to postpone major life events such as having children, divorcing, and starting businesses, according to a study by wealth management firm Saltus. Office for National Statistics data corroborates the postponement trend, citing decreasing birth and divorce rates. A separate report from Creditspring revealed that half of young British parents from all income brackets have foregone having more children due to cost concerns.
