What I've noticed.

No one I know has lost their job, all of them have received big pay rises and bonuses.
All the pubs are packed, all the restaurants are packed, takeaways packed, roads packed, shopping centres packed, car parks packed.
House prices are high and in anywhere decent going up.


Funny old "end of the world" if you ask me.

Plus, it's been the best recession ever for mortgage holders who have had their houses paid for them by savers and pensioners. Ditto for rich people and BTLers. This is no way to run a recession surely, where only the poor pay.

Fours years back I took out a massive mortgage but kept half as offset cash when moving up the ladder. With the equity I have I put that into bonds paying 5% while paying the bank 0.98%. I make 8k a year after taxes and repayments. Now that's just plain silly.
