Are you worried about Interest Rates for savers and pension funds?
Watch this postWhen I retired I thought that the interest from my savings would provide for little luxuries. Sadly my savings have been or are used for little luxuries e.g. TV licence, fuel, Council Tax.
When the currently working people retire they will probably be in an even more worrying position because every penny saved is wiped out by constantly rising living costs.
People in my position do not go and spend money on the High Street because they have no spare cash and cannot easily get abut pedestrianised town centres.
Even buses go to a bus station and not into the High Street.
Am I the only person worried about us and the younger generation?

It depends how you look at things
We have already got lawlessness on and streets and in our parks by people sunbathing who ever thought
that would be a crime.
If things are anywhere near normal by Christmas yes consumerism will. run riot but surely it will be a time to celebrate for some and just remember it will be a first Christmas without a particular love one there's no normal and there never was.
We are all individuals living life the best we can and despairing of those who think they are above the law but consumerism is not exactly a crime only undesirable.
