We have a great rate, currently (1.5%) which we’ll have had for 4 years by the time it ends which means we’ve benefited greatly.

We won’t lock in to a deal once this is over and just follow a tracker mortgage rate until it comes back down in the hope that it comes down by quite a bit.

I hope the rate comes down a bit but I don’t see it. Core inflation is still high and the low and zero rates we had look some way off and could never come back. Hard to call anything atm.
 
I’ll pick myself up from this in a few days,
I hope, but I’m just so exhausted from worrying about the future and struggling in the present.

And now the construction industry, that this pathetic government rely on so heavily to build basic infrastructure, is dying down. We already have huge skills shortages across the industry, and a huge housing shortage, and this will only make things worse. Young lads and girls will be starting the last year of their apprenticeships next month knowing they may graduate to be greeted with no work, just like I did in 2009.

It doesn’t make much sense to commit your working life to an industry so frequently disrupted by economic pressures.

Sorry for the depressing read, but I just can’t be arsed any more.

Good to vent it mate, there should be multiple tory ministers behind bars for the pain they have caused
 
Free markets...

CEO's in the FTSE 100, generally have massive responsibilities of global companies. There is nothing to stop you from applying for a CEO position. If you have the knowledge, experience and talent, you too, can also apply to become become a CEO for a major global company.

FTSE 100 CEO's enjoy wages not dissimilar from average Premier League players...
You’ve judged the tone of this thread perfectly.
 
Got a job interview tomorrow for a job I really want, it’s local, I’ll be home every day, it’s a senior position which will give me a fresh challenge and it’s for a reputable employer…. All sounds great… but here’s the ‘but’….. it means I’d be taking a wage cut of anywhere between 5-10k a year which in this current climate is casting doubts in my mind. It’s better in every imaginable way for me and my family except for the salary drop, ‘it’s a tough decision to make but I will probably take the job if lucky enough to be offered the position and adjust my lifestyle to suit.

Good luck kurt. Try and balance in the fuel cost saving etc as might not look that bad. 10k drop is pretty big like

Good for you mate hope it goes well.

I did the same thing moving from London to Bristol to be with my gf now.

It was tough but definitely worth it so if it will make you happy go for it.

Such a big decision though. I've been thinking about taking a more enjoyable job myself but with the wife about to be off for a year it's just not feasible.

Fingers crossed for you.
