Its simple isn't it, if you want more money just get a better job, or a second job.

Now where did i hear that before?

Seriously though the mortgage increases is a huge worry, that coupled with people will be hitting the 5 year mark where the extra tens of thousands they borrowed on the help to buy is suddenly due, or as more likely, getting lumped on their mortgages.

I wonder how many young people opted but the help to buy to buy a home of more value thinking 'yeah ill save that in 5 years', but haven't done? Lets face it when you are young 5 years seems like an eternity.

My finances are pretty well managed but even i am at a loss to understand how i wont be poorer. That said there is no way we were going through 2 years of covid, added on a war which is of course affecting things, without it having an impact.

There was always going to be an impact regardless of who was in power, but as i have said before the lack of action over the summer months has cost us, along with the lack of confidence we have now which is affecting markets.

If there is a u-turn today as rumoured i almost think thats worse, if you are confident in your policies stand by them, dont keep flip flopping, no one will ever have confidence in someone who cant stand up for their decisions.
