Will this happen again? Or is there a set proceedure to stop it happening again? I could afford (just) for them to go to 10%, but still quiet worrying, or am I over reacting?
Thanks, Marcus.
what they did not tell you was inflation was also high, getting 3 cost of living pay rises a year in some sectors.
A few got into serious trouble but anyone that rode it out came out the other side with their debt inflated away and a bigger pay packet.0
