Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

You may not have noticed inflation in years past, But 8%+ inflation over the past year should've taught you that the cost of living increases every year (home prices, rent, groceries, plane tickets, home repairs, etc.) Only way to beat inflation is by investing your money...

It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about inflation and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation. The stock market return, for example, always beats inflation. I heard of someone who invested $121k last October, and has grown the portfolio by more than $400k. I need recommendations that can give me similar return.

Too much is being taken from one months numbers, and we need to see a trend over the next three to six months period. Given the federal reserve’s comments in the US interest rates will remain higher for a period of time. Interest rates have been abnormally low and only recently began to normalise. It’s not so much interest rates are so high, but the increase in house prices over the last fifteen years which in large caused by low interest rates and insufficient new construction.

Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter, energy and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor. Why import fossil fuels when wind and solar energy can be produced locally and solar energy can power electric vehicles. We need solutions not just sympathy.

Meanwhile we should be sparing a thought for genuine victims like arch-Brexiter Vladimir Putin who is too scared to go to South Africa.

My heart goes out to her. Stay strong. No wonder why the local population is no longer having kids and we are importing people from the developing world. I guess they are ready made and they supply us with cheap labour. So sad, we should really help people here with raising children.

Yeah I do not understand why we pay a generous state benefit to one group of non-working people (pensioners) who will take much more than they contribute, and not another non-working group (children) who will end up working far harder and longer than the pensioners and paying far more in tax - provided they’re born. We need more pronatlist policies. Could just start with parents getting a tax free allowance addition of £10k for each child they have, then it would encourage the middle class to have more kids.

What more could the gov really give? Benefits, holiday activities fund, free meals, free health care. People need to wake up and become more financially smart and stop pretending and waiting for this so called elected system to serve or bail them out.

@@yofinance1777 oh I agree that people should support themselves better, but most of the governments costs (healthcare, pensions) goes to older people who have little to contribute, whereas the children are our future and should at least be supported in equal measure. Why not have each child afforded an amount the same as the state pension, in which it would have its own ‘triple lock’ - they are undervalued massively by society.

@@lightweightben That's not fair to blame it on the pensioners...they paid into the system all the years they worked, ALSO, many of them are suffering far more than you understand evidently...most of them are suffering, I should say...they eat one meal a day, many of them...they have to turn off the heat way more than a lot of people that aren't working now or haven't worked ever...you need to get a better education about who is making what & leave the pensioners alone...I don't live in your country, but I've read & heard horror stories about pensioners & how they are having to "get by"...some are even literally freezing to death!!

@@janetbrowning9089 it’s not blaming the pensioners it’s stating that all the evidence shows as a group they are better of than working aged people and substantially better off than younger (generation Z, millennials) generations. They are receiving state handouts in excess of their contributions which has to be paid for by younger taxpayers who are having to work harder for less. Of course there are poor pensioners but the statistics show that there are far more working poor.

Gullible Britain is so gullible, if I’m a foreign businessman I would invest in the UK and just take advantage of the Brits’ lack of knowledge on basic economy and don’t let me start with their socio-political awareness - just like what the Tories are doing, and a lot of big business owners.

the gov has to raise rates to 15% or they will suffer the complete collapse of the £.

Losing weight would be a great option.

It depends on how strong the currency is, weaker currencies have higher inflation rates. Sterling pound is strong, so the actual inflation rate is way too high. And of course, the UK was and still is way better than many European countries, especially eastern countries which are poorer than western countries.
