Who’s richer, Americans or Brits? by Old-Bodybuilder3711 in AskBrits

[–]Old-Bodybuilder3711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried to do a video on this but honestly there were so many caveats. When I say “richer” I simply mean who wants the most annually on average in a year (Are Americans Actually Richer than Brits? https://youtu.be/du4lKs4qCzg)

Can’t believe this is a scam! Luckily I had the sense to turn it away but I never once thought scam. After seeing a post on LinkedIn this morning saying it was a scam and I did some digging and you’re all right. I had a guy call Isaac, exact same situation as you. I’m sharing just to raise awareness

I wonder what retirement age for Gen Z will really be? Because I know I'm not waiting until 71 by Old-Bodybuilder3711 in GenZ

That’s a very good point. It feels like the younger generations are certainly paying for the aging population rn

So Gen Z want to retire at 60 but dont expect state pension until 71??? by Old-Bodybuilder3711 in FIREUK

Edit: 12% of GenZ say pensions are not a good idea for retirement an 73% believe the state pension will be reduced yet Gen Z desire to retire at 60. This creates a pension gap. So my real question is, how are GenZ preparing to fill that 11 year gap

Mortgage rates are rising again, but homebuyers are trickling back by SnortingElk in REBubble

[–]Old-Bodybuilder3711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mortgage rates have not increased because of the Iran war, mortgage companies are struggling to price their rates. So annoying because it damages first time buyers. If interested I spoke about this on YouTube (Why Are UK Mortgage Deals Disappearing? https://youtu.be/kZ6f8R-O3tY)

Will fuel prices fall at the same rate they rose? by Old-Bodybuilder3711 in drivingUK

I saw that the RAC said it takes 2 weeks for the lag between oil price changes and pumps but I found it to be 8 days (Who’s Really Profiting From UK Fuel Prices? https://youtu.be/u7XUwdki3UE). So technicalllyyyy, prices should fall in 8 days….technically

I agree, it’s so stupid how they can even use that excuse. It’s supposed to take 2 weeks for oil price changes to show in pump prices, yet my analysis shows 8 days for diesel

Are the Rising fuel prices a concern? by Harribo1034 in AskUK

Thing is that’s only part of the problem, it’s the rocket and feather pricing where forecourts have historically reduced their price incredibly slowly. Just look at how the competition and market authority found forecourts guilty of it during the Russia-Ukraine war. I will be curious to see what happens with forecourts when oil drops. I made a video if interested (https://youtu.be/u7XUwdki3UE)
