A survey of Australia's sole trader business community has found many are reducing pension fund contributions, or not making, to cope with rising bills.

The Hnry [[Henry]] Sole Trader Pulse survey found that women were more likely than men to cut back on super contributions [[31 per cent versus 20 per cent]], while most people reduced rates and worked longer hours to keep up with them.

The main cost of living pressure for most people is housing, with much of the attention on homeowners affected by successive Reserve Bank interest rate rises.
