    Relatively, despite I am depending on minimum wage and basically just living with no life while saving up, I think I am well prepared to ride it out since I am already at rock bottom life for last five years. :o

    So yes, indeed.
  • So is that a yes or no ?

    Yes, I do - not only here in the UK, financially, but also in relation to the billions of people who live in poverty with no health care etc.

    No, I'm not going to preach, but I just can't believe we have another doom mongering thread on here!

    Yes.

    I know I'm not typical, but my cash net worth will be higher in 4 months time.
