WTF to do when everything costs more

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from website marketing specialist Tom Garfield. He says:

“Life costs so much more now!
Fuel, heating, food, clothes, EVERYTHING is way more expensive. I shudder every time I hear the letterbox clunk, wondering what bill is coming for me next.
I don't want to dip into savings or reduce my pension payments. That feels like a bad plan... Do I raise my prices to keep up instead? Can I use the cost of living crisis as justification??
Other than pulling my kid out of nursery, living life as a recluse and doing nothing at all (I've had quite enough of that, thanks covid!), what’s the best way to keep financially afloat when the water just keeps rising? Heeeeelp!”
