As Jim Cramer said on Brexit, the British voted themselves a pay cut.
The effects will filter through in decreased pensions and inflation which won't be compensated for in increased incomes not to mention tax rises at some point.
The question is not whether there will be a pay cut but how much.Leave a comment:

2 companies no one has ever heard of?
I assume now the markets are back where they were last week they have reversed the cut? Wonder why they didn't cut in Feb?
Can't see cuts from the big players. But then these things go up and down all the time.Leave a comment:

Pension incomes fall as referendum effect filters through
"Providers of annuities - the policies that convert pension pots into incomes for life - have cut their rates this morning to reflect falls in the financial markets since Thursday's Brexit referendum.
Two annuity firms, Just Retirement and Retirement Advantage, announced annuity rate cuts this morning. Just Retirement’s rates are down by around 2pc.
The cuts follow falls in the yields on bonds issued by the British Government in the wake of the EU vote. More falls in annuity rate are likely to follow, according to experts.
This is just one of many possible effects of the Brexit vote on pensioners and those who are saving for retirement. Here we look at the future for pensions outside the EU."
