Budget poll: Will you be better off in a year’s time?

It’s Budget week, the time the Chancellor reviews the national finances and presents forecasts for the economy. Consumer confidence has a huge impact on that – if we stop spending, the economy stutters.

So do you feel you’ll be better or worse off in a year’s time?

Please choose one option in the relevant category.

    I imagine the leavers will be clinging to the faint hope of being better off, while remainers expect to be worse off.

    We already see price rises.

    Worse off, again. Having a pay freeze for two years followed by 9 years of only 1%, paying more into my pension means, that even with the tax changes over the years, still worse off.

    Definitely worse off, prices already going up.

    Inflation might still be relatively low, but most of the things I'm interested in - e.g. computer parts - have shot up in price by ~20%+ already.
