    Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

      If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

      Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

    I worked for a bank HO and in the 90’s people literally just put their key’s in the letter box of the bank because not only did the mortgage rate go up but employers were aloud to tinker with your contract. My husband worked for a company for 15 years and his company changed his monthly wage with commission based earning. We left the country and went to Europe and never looked back. In Belgium where I live we have 20 years plus fixed rates and we are not facing any of this. It only impacts the people who are buying now and a fix rate is 3,75% currently. Landlords are not allowed to increase on a whim and this is highly regulated to avoid abuse. Should the bank wish to take your home it is a long process and since the financial crisis the banks can not leave you in debt. So it’s in the banks interest to negotiate with the borrower.

    A lack of house building and selling off of Council housing which goes back to 1979 and has continued under all Governments has come home to roost . Housing is now so expensive to buy that moderate rises in interest rates will bury buyers .Most rental housing is in the private sector ,the Landlord buys to let on a mortgage and passes on his mortgage rises to the renter.The private water companies who have hiked borrowing passes on interest rate rises to the bill payer .Result , inflation rises.We are in the brown stuff

    Scandiavian countries don't just use the wealth of the country to call it successful. They consider quality of life, education, health, paying people a decent salary so they can be more proud of their jobs and so ultimately work more productively and their pensions are good too. They look after their worst off and don't treat them like leeches and weirdly enough unemployment is very low indeed. When all these function properly then it stands to reason the country becomes wealthy automatically. Why can't the UK govt take a look at successful, wealthy and happy countries and try to learn from them?

      This is part of the problem in why inflation hasn’t dropped as quick as expected. They should have never been kept that low for so long and when inflation did creep up they should have acted quicker and gone bigger early to counter the rise.

      Greedflation is a myth from the left invented to cover up their retarded, irresponsible spending. No serious economist will tell accept the greedflation theory.
      To make profit, someone made an expense. This mean they gave their money in exchange for a good or services. From that point, the buyer willingfully accepted the PRICE and concluded a transaction. The only situation where greedflation can exist is in a monopoly/oligopoly market and since we look a the whole economy to calculate inflation, this is practically impossible.

      No it wasn't. You forget that wages were nowhere near what people earn now and white goods, cars etc, TV were all far more expensive in proportion to wages. When my salary was £1000 a year which was average, our first fridge cost £200, and TV about the same. We couldn't afford a washing machine so took my clothes to Laundriette once a week. Still don't own a tumble dryer and put clothes on a washing line to dry which cost nothing. People moan about energy prices but waste energy using tumble driers because they are too lazy to put washing out. We also washed nappies instead of buying expensive disposable ones and they stopped all of them going in landfill. Never bought coffee from a shop and took flasks and our home-made sandwiches to work for lunch which saved pounds every day. Not now, too lazy!

Most have one pair of shoes if they are lucky many of which are made of old car tyres, many cannot afford stationery even if schooling is free so still can't go to school, few have cars and many not even a bike and many kids walk miles for the previlege of education, no free healthcare, many sleep on the floor, many have no clean water or toilets and drains, no rubbish collections, no proper roads and no toys except sticks or pebbles to play with. They still wash their clothes in the local river. Their jeals are often a bit of rice or similar with a few vegetables they grow. You really haven't a clue how the majority of the world live as you are so spoilt like the rest of this generation.

    Too many people live on credit now and live way above their means. No one did that in previous generations. You saved every penny you could and didn't buy things or spend money on take-aways, eating out several times a month, getting your nails done, spending money on tattoos, having more than one car a family, having multiple computers and tvs and subscriptions to Sky, Netflix etc. If you couldn't afford something, you waited until you could by saving. However much people earn now, they fritter it away and never save for a rainy day as we were brought up to do. Still do our own decorating, gardening, and housework but how many people pay someone else to do it? Didn't expect multiple holidays a year and if you had one, it was often camping or in a caravan. Never went in hotels until our children had left home and were working. Moreover, no one has worried all these years when they could borrow at half-a- percent but people who saved all their lives and went without things got no return on their savings. But they managed!

    I can't believe Ed Balls was a chancellor and I can't believe Labour agree with what BoE are doing. Banks, supermarkets are all price gouging, they're making record profits. Energy bills are still way higher than pre-Ukraine despite the prices of oil/gas being lower than before Ukraine started. Did price rises take long to come in? No they were instant, but now prices have fallen we have Centrica saying they will remain high for the foreseeable whilst they report record profits. Banks will raise mortgages immediately but savings rates for some straaaaange reason don't rise anywhere near as fast. BoE raising interest rates in this sort of environment doesn't help, businesses have loans, mortgages, their borrowing gets more expensive they add more on to the price of products - for those not price gouging.
    Ed Balls saying the government only have one lever, no they fucking don't. Windfall taxes, enforce banks to raise savings at the same rate as borrowing, penalise energy companies who aren't dropping prices in line with the commodity price falls, prevent mobile phone, broadband and TV companies from being able to raise prices for consumers mid-contract and force banks to offer reasonable rates on fixed terms for much longer periods, like pretty much everywhere else. There is no reason to have 2-5 year fixed mortgages except to make even more profit for banks. Why is everything skewed away from people/consumers in favour of entities that make enormous profits. I've got nothing against profit and capitalism, but this is a crisis and people are going to lose homes so major companies can make record profits. It's fucking wrong and if Labour don't have an answer, fuck them as well.

      We have similar problems, but there is a difference if you consider the past. Banks transferred higher interest rates to savings, of course, not the same percentage but at least in a fair way.
      Our latest polls have shown that people try not to spend so much money on special goods, thus most of our textile industries are struggling, some have already gone into admininistration. Why not wear my pullover a year longer?

In our representation system they enter parliament and have a voice. The increase from 10% to 18% (latest poll) makes the ruling parties contemplative as they are losing voters.
      But GB News, Tousi and Heavers and Talk Radio use this as argument against the EU. Of course, some criticize the money we spend on the EU but it is not the major problem.
