Has to be big mortgage and child care.
Mortgage cant be big as he said its only 2x gross salary.

See my breakdown above. It is £100k mortgage, so no not that large at all.
Childcare can be a killer. In our area every early years nursery is around £2k a month for 5 days a week. Hurts to pay it tbh. I know most other areas throughout the country tends to average half of that.
Yeah the writing is on the wall and they can see it. The ability for people to pay is going to disappear.
Totally understandable.
So.. Do we think its going to be an actual genuine break down of society this winter?
If the tories don't provide substantially more how can it not be?
Let's face it, if they don't give money directly they are going to be taking on failed suppliers anyway.
Not going to lie, it's concerning. Even if you aren't impacted directly this amount of potential civil unrest will affect everyone.
I fully expect to see scenes on the news I've never seen in the UK in my lifetime
I expect it will fully get underway in November. Pre Christmas, grim weather, first real bills land

If something isn't done about energy prices yes. People will be on the streets.
Might be able to sell one of them on ebay?
Kidneys and livers etc still fetch high prices.
Will definitely get you through winter!

Thats quite scary to see someone on such a high wage(in terms of myself) struggling so much.
I would seriously not be able to sleep if i was down to £18 after all my bills(not that i have a huge amount left over, maybe £150)

It's an absolute shambles, it's going to be at the point where only dual-income households on above average salaries or single earners on £60k+ can do anything outside of paying for necessities. Joke of a country.

literally
were you born after 2011
At least some looting pre xmas looting will come in handy, I predict it will be books and board games they will be going after as no one will be able to afford to run a stolen tv
Pretty sure it is going to be far worse and much more widespread.
At 18ppm it's worth even cutting down that Netflix.
Those car costs/finance doesn't help.
But man. That child care. That is grim

413x is that you?
I don't recall seeing anything that bad then.
I was living at home. It didn't really affect me. I certainly didn't take any pain then.
I bet Russian troll farms will be going flat out over the next few months to try and stir things up but whether people will actually protest I don't know. A lot of it will come down to the message coming from Downing Street, are we all in this together with appropriate support or will Liz Truss gives us a motivational speech about how we just need to work harder.

I bet I spend less than that monthly cost on clothes in a year tbh.
