Ref. 26772-50Mother-of-three, Tara Jones, 25, of Penhill, said living in Swindon was expensive.
Tara, whose children are Kyle, six, Keir, three and Leah, 17 months, (pictured) said: "It's hard to get out of the cycle of not having a lot of money.
"I am actually from Swindon but my parents are from Blackburn and when I used to live up there you would get little more than £2 an hour for a packing job.
"When my partner and I came down from the north we were surprised to get around £5.50 an hour.
"The pay increase was massive, but then living is expensive down here, too.
"We live in a two-bedroom maisonette with no garden, and it's hard to get out of the cycle. You just have to wait for the council to move you."
