My guess is if you're struggling now then brace yourself as its only going to get worse before it gets better.

makes me smile when people 'expect' to have a foreign holiday and run a second car and own a house all on average wages.

sad fact of life that the country has been enjoying itself for far too long and it needs a diet/detox for a while now

most annoying thing is that everyone suffers for a few, just because a whole bunch of people have racked up credit cards and stupid mortgages based on sack all, everyone will feel the pinch in the housing market for a while!
