£70,000(ish), £421 a month on a 20y mortgage at 3.92% assuming zero down payment.
How will Brexit affect you and your family personally?

Financially I *may* need to order one less bottle of Malbec per week.
Luckily I own a business that tends to do well in a recession...I actually set it up in 2008. Surprisingly my pension fund has been unaffected. Not looked at S&S ISA but that's long term anyway.
Holiday in the Dordoyne (well, spending money) will cost me a fair bit more next month.
Finances aside, I feel very sad about it all. Suddenly this country doesn't seem such a nice place to live.

I'll admit I don't know the area but the cheapest one bed flat in Brighton that isn't for over 60s only is £150,000.

I will bite, you are for the most part unaffected by brexit. Your investments may lose some of their value but that's the nature of investment and exchange rates as in the dollar to pound since the UK has joined the EU have been on a downward trend. You have invested in a downward treading pound value, if anything a remain vote may have over the long term continued to tread down. You have lost nothing other than not gaining your speculated return.
You are not British, you are a Lithuanian exploiting the legality of nationality, both here in the UK and the USA. Superstate nirvana and you would be
renouncing both UK and US citizenships in the future. I hope Brexit keeps you're investments tied up.
Not sure how things will pan out for us.
Wife is a specialist can re nurse for Macmillan so one wage is fairly safe.
I however currently work for an Irish firm. Speaking to my boss today he is fairly relaxed about things and happy to just roll with it for the time being. I can see sales getting harder to get, or customers ordering less as prices are increasing.
We shall just see, I am in the process of applying for the police so hoping things go well in that sense!

Probably won't change much. Partner and I have a house and both earn respectable wages. Only 27 so pensions, investments, etc aren't really an issue.
As long as I can play golf and fish at weekends I'll be happy.
Prospect of affording a wedding and children in the near future scares me far more than any possible European or worldwide economic disaster.
Not that I think there will be an economic disaster. Yes I voted leave.

You need to do a bit more research, you do know the north east has the lowest level of EU immigrants and immigrants overall in the UK, far from swamped? 96.8% British, 1.6% EU.
You complain about doom and gloom, but half your post is doom and gloom, no holidays, minimum wage and no overtime? Maybe take some of your own advise?
Most people are not on minimum wage whatever region your in. Yes there is poverty, like there is in every region, but most people are not in poverty.
You do know excluding London the difference in average wage in the different regions isn't that large around £4k difference if you compare the best regions with the worse (not counting London), this poor northerners BS is wearing thin.
When you take in the cost of living the average working Northerner has more disposable income than the average working Southerner.
Northerners can afford to go on holiday just much as Southerners!
The unemployment rates are only slightly up, London the richest part of the country is the north east's closest competitor in the unemployment rate 5.9& compared to 7.3%. (The east which you mention has the lowest rate 3.7%, which is why they need eastern Europeans to do some of the seasonal work)
Also the high cost of living in London has a big effect on disposable income for the average person and the average wage is massively skewed due to the high number (but still small proportion) or very well paid people in this area.

It's the internet. Can't let facts get in the way of a good racist rant.
If basic prices go up the poorest on minimum wage and benefits will be hit the worse as even a small increase in costs will be a higher proportion of their income than the better off. It's certainty a case of Turkeys voting for Christmas. :> If you struggling now even a 2% increase in you living costs will hurt a lot.

I have worked around the country myself,and Manchester was far cheaper than London and parts of Kent.

So...
Im a racist because i have actualy seen and experienced these things
Rather than just googling and pulling a lot of figures up of the internet.
Thank you for that

He probably has you there, Brighton is one of the most expensive places to live outside London.
Home values in Aberdeen
Avg values 1 yr
All homes £222,323 -2.77%
Detached £384,664 -3.32%
Semi £257,294 -1.22%
Terraced £213,866 -3.73%
Flats £158,152 -0.8%
Home values in Brighton
Avg values 1 yr
All homes £383,988 +7.85%
Detached £560,459 +11.24%
Semi £393,075 +10.88%
Terraced £424,535 +5.67%
Flats £277,368 +5.29%
Obviously this is a very rough comparison as it doesn't take size of building in to account. Brighton may have more larger properties.

Still I suspect Brighton doesn't have areas like "Torry".

Probably won't a great deal. Employer has said it won't effect our operations, and we had to get Visas for european travel anyway since the GF isn't from the EU.

My shares have increased in value by about 6% in the last few days.
We tend to holiday in the UK, don't have family in the EU, both in secure jobs.
So no change really.

Why do you sound so spiteful? Exploiting legality of nationality? Look outside, its 2016 and its a global world. Foremost, my personal and family's well-being comes first, so yes if there is a nirvana superstate of EU that would allow for better life I`d bite in a heartbeat as majority of this forum.
Did you personally lose anything from my family "exploiting" legality of citizenship. Our family has paid so much in taxes and barely used any public institutions such as education and healthcare. I just found it hilarious that one odd comment about us packing bags and going home made by benefit chavs fails to realize that our taxes are paying for his Stella.
Why would you wish for our investments to get tied up? My parents worked their butts off to pay off the mortgage on our house and all the savings in ISA's.
Finally, my parents work has contributed to "Making Britain Great" why would you wish us any ill at all??

Missed this.
That person is a complete knob. The UK NEEDS immigrants, anyone who thinks otherwise isn't very well educated (if at all).
