Where did I say "Pick One"?
What I asked was
Did you?
I'll have to go back because I can't recall you doing so.
So were gonna split hairs between the words "which of these" and "pick one" now are we?
Same thing.0 -

They did, I must have missed the copy and paste change.

Same thing.
If there are 10 vegetables on a plate and I was asked "which of these do you like" I wouldn't choose only one, I'd choose the ones I liked.
My question was "Which of these would you like to fix in order to hedge against inflation?", meaning you could choose any of them to fix if you could
Clearly you are struggling with basic English in order to try and have a valued debate
P.S. I checked and you clearly did not say you agreed with my point. Another made up Devonian argument tactic I guess:wall:

You can't pick one ISTL. Thats the point.
Incidently, you should be looking at all your individual outgoings and seeing which ones you can reduce / fix.
That's MoneySavingExpert advice for you.
Typically I start with my largest outgoings (pick one
)and work my way down the list.
Whether you save on Mortgage Payments, Insurance, Utilities, Shoppiing etc etc etc, you look at these individually and then build up your overall savings accross the whoe outgoings.:wall:

Really?
Wow, thanks.
Does the same apply for housing too, or should I complain that the price is too low? I'm confused with some of the conflicting information dependant on the product 0 -

I thought people were complaining because inflation was too high, not that we were in a deflationary environment.
Housing prices aren't going up in real terms, in many places, energy (for example) is still bounding away at 10%+ p.a.
In certain areas people are in negative equity due to over committment."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

There are two kinds of inflation.
We haven't the "good" kind that fits your scenario.0 -

Are you expecting deflation any time soon? Just wondering as you've started talking about it?0 -

Your stubbordness shows no bounds.
It's a pity that you don't have wisdom to go with that.Graham_Devon wrote: »Just because your wages rise, it does not mean your mortgage payment is easier to pay.
It'd be a lot harder if the mortgage payments were increasing similar to rents:wall:

Your referring to deflation however.
I'm keen to understand what you are referring to as deflating.:wall:
