To be concerned with the cost of living crisis?

[tontown]

Admittedly I live in a naice area of London so perhaps it's a bit of a bubble. I'm very anxious about the cost of living crisis & if you read the papers lots of comments along the lines of "worst drop in living standards on record" etc. I've been much more cautious with energy usage & am conscious about wasting money & saving what I can but then I look around & see restaurants are packed, house prices keep rising & wonder if I'm being over cautious.

Same, I’m a supply TA and also a supply support worker so I can get work any day of the week within a 5 mile radius. I often only drive a max of 2 miles though as the demand is that high.

Crap money and wasn’t supposed to be too much of a long term option but nevertheless pretty bullet proof in terms of demand.

I live in a council house so cheap rent, receive tax credits to top my wages up, run a cheap car and already shop at Aldi. I always have plenty of surplus so I’m not too worried.

I was repossessed in 2011 after getting a 125 percent northern rock mortgage at the age of 18, so for me the shit hit the fan a long time ago and I adjusted my life accordingly.
