Rest assured their house values and income didn’t go up much and their taxes didn’t go down much.

And all the Brits have to do is look west one island and they'll see the solution to their financial problems. It's being called the "Irish Miracle"....

Saw a statistic from about 1980 that the average worker in an industrialized country will emerge $70,000 ahead at the end of his career. He might make $1 million but that’s what is left.

Exactly...pushing a million, myself.

Damn I sweat a truck payment !..........If money ain’t coming IN, aka money making money , I am in panic mode.

Stay safe !

That's roughly $68,000 USD debt load for every Briton.
