    Maybe instead of blaming Brexiteers for the presumed property crash you're so scared of you should roll your sleeves up and take it on.


    Duh, you art last get it. Of course I will take it on and work with what I have got, but right now there is NO property crash and we are still in the EU.

    Depends which model & how much data.
    Think my OH pays about £35 for hers.

    I pay £7.50 and get 2G which is always enough but where I live we often have free WiFi.

    Mine is £35 per month with 60 Gb ported from the home internet to it as I work away from home.

    It’s not the latest model (I worked in IT for years and you never buy the latest cus you’ll just be the guineapig paying a lot to help them iron out the glitches).

    I didn’t have a mobile phone when they first came out then I got a promotion at work and a clunky Nokia came with the job.

    Prices are now ten times what they were twenty years ago

    Base rates twenty years ago were ten times higher than they are now. The two facts are not unconnected.

    I have 0.5Gb and it usually lasts me the month. Wi-Fi is available almost everywhere for free, so mobile data isn't that necessary for most.

    And it's easy to see the same trend occurring in many purchases from cars to houses.

    £20k debt at 7.5% Vs £200k debt at 0.75%... hmm I wonder which I'd prefer.

    2 decades ago wage rises were also real. There's a generation that are going to have a ball and chain around their ankles. With mortgage terms often 30-40 years. Used to be capped at 25. A large debt against the prospect of rising interest rates is going to cause pain.
