What have you lot done to protect your savings, apart from having a house and/or a mortgage?

The fact that almost every ad break in the run up to Xmas covered both these things would suggest you're on to something.

Are things going to kick off this year?
High inflation looks to be on the cards. It's getting too big to be concealed by deception and iPods now it seems, everyone appears to be noticing the real rate. And interest rates look set to remain well inflation for the foreseeable future, or the whole house of cards crumbles. So is high inflation, especially on essentials (food, clothes, transport), savings being wiped out, and below inflation wage increases and rioting and pillaging the order of the day?
