Cost of living crisis - how are you all doing?

fine - 3 of us with incomes in the house plus savings - eventually things will level out or civil unrest will change things but I am confident we can last out either. I really feel for people who are genuinely struggling but I struggle to see why people are allowing themselves to be cowed by fear mongering news reports - neighbour down the road owns house and I would estimate they have somewhere between 60 and 80k in combined incomes given their jobs. You walk past the house at night they have a couple of lamps on and are wearing like weird hoody/dressing gowns - the absence of steam from the flue makes me assume they don't have the heating on. Whereas on the drive there's a Merc a new AygoX and a 2 year old Peugeot - they are not too skint to afford a bit of heating !!!
 
I'll post in here as Hotukdeals aren't allowed to post insurance deals atm.

Go on post office life insurance use code LIFE223 and take out the lowest quote mine is £7.54 a month after 6 months of paid premiums you will get a £100 gift card I will be choosing amazon. You then just cancel the insurance and you make a profit.

Can also go via TCB for a potential £70 in cash too. Easy money for 5 minutes work.
 
I have no debt at all so interest rate increases not an issue. I sold my car last year because I rarely use it. I borrow my sons now if I need one. I have noticed eating out and booze going up and this has prompted me to go out less. I used to eat out 2-3 times a week and now only once. If many are like me then many places will shout down. A real shame but you only have so much spare cash to spend each month.
 
It’s quieter round here in terms of Asda, cafes and pubs. There can just be a handful in drinking on a Saturday night and is sometimes just too soul destroying to go in.

I’m ok but have deleted taxis, betting and takeaway delivery from my phone to stop me wasting money.

As I’m paid weekly then there’s usually a few quid for anything needed.
 
Is he talking about the same father in law who he sacked from the business and who then went to prison for hacking Ramsay’s emails?
 
Went out last Saturday day/night you wouldn’t think there was a cost of living crisis, it was fucking heaving and it ain’t cheap to drink or eat.
