to ask has your life changed since brexit ?

[mrsfuzzy]

seems months ago since it all kicked off but only a few weeks in reality, wider society aside, has brexit changed your life a/ perhaps you've moved/in process of, changed work etc. for us nothing has changed but i'm interested in other mners [don't want to cause a punch up over the remains and leaves - that's been, gone and tired].

Day to day, nothing apart from feeling sad about Brexit and despondemt about Britain's future.
I live in an EU coutnry and Brexit has pushed me to apply for citizenship even though it means renouncing my UK nationality (no dual nationality allowed by the Eu country I live in). I had thought about doing it before but feel I have to get on and do it now as it takes a long time to come through and I don't know what my legal status will be here as a non-EU citizen after Brexit. I have too much to lose here for that kind of uncertainty: a business, a mortgage, 2 kids. So I sat the citizenship exam this month.

Why are people losing their jobs when we are still in the EU and in likelihood, going to remain in the EU?

Rufus your post on page 1? IMO saying that Brexit hasn't affected you personally yet isn't at all dismissive. It's the other type of posts the ones claiming that any negative impact is made-up or exaggerated that are frustrating.

As are the attempts to make a big joke about it, like the 'blame it on Brexit' thread (where you were supposed to write 'oh, i stubbed my toe, must be Brexit's fault, haha), which undermine people's concerns by characterising anyone who notes negative effects as a whiner. (Like anyone with a negative forecast was part of Project Fear.)

This thread did come off a bit like that, at first, with the OP's explanation that i was interested to ask as there were a lot of knee jerk 'worlds gonna end' responses initially and i was wondering if anyone has 'jumped ship' prior to anything actually happening. This possibly raised hackles, but she doesn't seem to have minimized or dismissed anyone's responses, so maybe I read that wrong.

If you could back that up, HeyMamacita, I'd be really happy! But the overwhelming odds are that we're leaving, aren't they? And businesses and institutions have to reposition themselves accordingly.

We have been affected but it's not disastrous - selling our house in UK (all still going ahead so far) and planned to use the money from the sale to buy somewhere in the country we live in now. At the moment due to exchange rate we'd lose a chunk of cash so planning on waiting to see what happens and when we can move it out. Fortunately we hadn't made any offers on property here or we'd be in for a massive fine if pulled out!

My friends DCs have also heard a lot of racist comments, first time they'd ever experienced it........

I applied for danish citizenship. I was going to anyway but I was suddenly more motivated.

When I get a job next year the weak pound means i will pay off my student loan a bit quicker.

My facebook newsfeed has now been taken over by Trump is an idot type posts, younique, bunnies and summer holidays.

Ooh I suppose I could do some online shopping a.d benefit from the weaker pound!

Ex H was made redundant 2 weeks ago - the company said it was due to Brexit and they are planning to relocate several departments to mainland Europe. The DCs and I are unlikely to be able to stay in our house now as without ex H's maintenance payments I cannot afford the mortgage and day to day living costs.

One of my close friends works in an industry with lots of European finding and has been told to expect serious levels of redundancies and I have several other similar stories.

The weak pound has been excellent for me, being self-employed in a traditional safe-haven country.

No. Other than the discussions the following day,and the media coverage. But there hasn't been an exit,pm may needs to invoke article 50 to start process. And it'll all take years....

Managers have been taking more personal interest in non uk eu staff members, leading to a better environment but this industry is unlikely to be negatively affected.

I'm many years off citizenship since the rules for PR changed so that only full-time work counts. I'm familiesammenført, so at the mercy of Danish national rule changes, which ironically seems to be the more secure option right now.

I did however ring up SLC yesterday and pay off the balance of a grant overpayment that I'd been slowly chipping away at for years. Woo!

We work in the tech sector. Quality roles are unlikely to remain here.

We're making enquiries to move. Wherever the tech sector goes. We'll follow the brain drain.

My family came out as extraordinary racists and I have avoided them. There's only so many times you can hear "subhumans" in a conversation before you realise there's no common ground any more.

I've just had the first family member lose their job as a direct result of Brexit, and a second one knows it is just a matter of time. DH earning much less commission as the organisations he sells to are holding off buying anything until they get a clearer view of the deal Britain secures with Europe

But there hasn't been an exit,pm may needs to invoke article 50 to start process. And it'll all take years....

So how do you explain the fact that people on here are describing the effects they're feeling already? Are we making it up?

We have not exited the EU,the formal process hasn't been initiated.it will take years. In line with any significant political event people will have a gamut of emotion. As one would expect. Nonetheless UK remains in EU until article 50 invoked and departure terms negotiated. I don't need to explain anyone individual reaction,as it is their subjective opinion.

I am personally unaffected on a day to day basis. Not the case for others
The personal impact Depend upon many factors eg
Individual circs
Are employment/ finances/ day to day affected
What brexit discussions are impacting upon the individual

Op asked has my life changed since brexit
Answer : no

Yes. I have a small business and buy about £2500 worth of stock each month from China and I have to pay in USD. So I'm about £250 down every month.

I am make no bones about being a remainer. But those saying there are no impacts as a result of the vote to leave need to get their heads out of the sand. I am not normally so rude, but the evidence is all around us that there is an impact already. There people here - me included - describing very real impacts of the vote result. The impacts can be found via a range of very credible external sources.

That we haven't invoked Article 50 is irrelevant. By voting we have created uncertainty and we will continue to experience it until something clear and decisive happens (ie exit negotations are complete, the referendum result is ignored or other options) and negotiations and discussions are over and complete - so maybe even a year down the line.

Massively.

Key project cancelled
House move then cancelled as a result
Share price tumbled - lost tens of thousands of pounds- it had been dropping since feb due to brexit uncertainty
Pension value dropped
Cost of summer holiday gone up by hundreds of pounds- usd exchange rate
Boss lost their job (political)
Got a new boss - have no idea what that means yet- may mean more work, less work, the same or even no work

Share price tumbled - lost tens of thousands of pounds but still got a few million, not to worry.

Pension savings are held in shares. The fall of shares in UK companies therefore affect pension savings for many of us. I don't have a lot of savings outside pension savings, but indeed my pension pot has taken a hit post June 23.

I also hold a lot of my pension savings in another EU country, having worked there for a long time. There is a real possibility that British people won't be able to access pension savings held in the EU on the same terms as before post Brexit. The issue could be comparable to that of British pensioners who live outside the EU - they do not get index linking on the their state pensions.

Not at all- they are very specific shares in 1 bank which we required to hold as DH works for them. It is quite complex with specific rules that have to be followed.
