Its actually a Premier debit card.
Depends where you swipe it! :O
You'll have 150k plus a little interest paid off in 5 months (so 30k/month)?
High paying job or just come into money?
He's in the top 1% apparently.
Probably savings? As since its a fixed rate he wouldn't be able to overpay that much anyway, so I read it as pay it off when the fix ends.
You dont actually need as much as people think to be that... A little over £182k
Yes savings, currently sitting in Marcus.

It's actually less than that, depending on where you look. One quotes £120k which is very close to mine. Bye bye PA.

The whole amount in one account? You do know that FSCS protection is only upto £85k per institution? I'd be splitting that up.
It's only short term. If Goldman go bust I have bigger problems than losing 60k.
I can't see any humble bragging.

Same as before, nobody knows. Nobody..... and if they tell you otherwise they're talking out their backsides.
I read an article only last week from experts saying they all thought with a high degree of confidence the base rate would stay where it is for quite a while, maybe go up a little more, but won't be coming down for a few years. Then just yesterday I was reading about the US debt hitting its ceiling which would trigger a UK rate decrease
There's so many different things going on around the world that anyone of them could swing it one way or the other.
If you are talking stock market, again, someone said to me go all in on UK FTSE100 but I take everything these days with a massive pinch of salt. Money under the bed I'm thinking.

Apologising for what?
For being incompetent.
Interest rates: 'This is terrible incompetence and this lot should just quit,' says former Bank of England policy maker as interest rates rise
The Bank of England has raised its Base rate for the 12th consecutive period - this time up 0.25 percentage points to 4.5%. Speaking to Sky News, former Bank of England policy maker Danny Blanchflower said that "screeching U-turns are coming" and "this lot should just quit".
