Time for most people to get a little poorer

The southern holiday is smoking. This is not the end of the world. But you can still get angry.

Take into account that interest rates may go up, people said when I bought into the house I live in. Yep, I took that into account. Could afford it. A couple of percentage points higher interest rates should go just fine.

But no one told me that I should also have taken into account that electricity would be ten times as expensive at the same time, that the price of fuel would be twice as high, that inflation would eat up the wage increase, and that the price of food would eventually go up. .
