European teams are shite

Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3:0 at home, then lost 4:0 in Liverpool. One of the most epic comebacks recently.

Since september

Soeh

We had 1.1% growth this year (yet to be confirmed)

Of that growth, one quarter was our economy contracting

Pound is back to where it was May 2019

So it depends on where you look at it

Compare our economy to pre ref and it's worse

So, Harry and Meghan retiring from royal duties.... presumably this is to have free license to pontificate to people about progressive matters

More doom and gloom just came out

I thought the housing figures weren't out for another hour and a half tho

Tbh I'm not happy to hear that housing is increasing

It's already unaffordable

It's fine as long as wages rise faster

Bruh

and they don't

Yeah they are currently

Which population segment are you looking at?

Wages are currently outpacing housing by about 3points

UK average

Average can smd

This is only in the last 2 yrs

I'm not about to rail against the wealthy

But dude

Youre not gonna feel it for at least 5

Average salaries are not a great place to be looking to determine the affordability

But that's the trend it's currently going in

I understand the trend

But it's not a good representation

And increased housing prices mean owners have more spendable cash too

This feels bubbly

Inflation all round.... Although to stifle that, they will hike rates

Once you peg everything to inflation I'll care less

Bubble won't pop until well into wage and rate hikes

Minimum wage, taxes etc

This is like nowhere near bubble pop stage

Idk bruh, it's very easy to get finance on liabilities like cars

I think it might be a bit worse if that bubble goes

We're barely starting greed stage... Which is stage 4/6 of the cycle
