So do you think perhaps a lot of folks got fed up and just dropped their Prime memberships?
Have to blame COVID 19 and the war for all this prices of petrol gone up from £1.30p a year back to well over £1,80 only last week 50p increase is about 30% plus increase this then reflected on Gas and electricity up by 10% or more for the same period
You dont have to do much maths to work out something has to go . Did you know overseas holidays dropped 15 % on 2019 . Off course those who use a credit card in all this to pay things have now just cut there throats , are about to pay something like an extra 10% on it . None of this takes into consideration in regards to pay deals Railways doctors Nurses Amazon workers BT Power workers . ie list is endless these are people wo are or about to go on strike . Most it appears to be 10% But it is a vicious war against inflation and there will be losers . Me my pensions have only gone up 2% in a year . My One Billion pennies (old pennies) is simply not enough , we the pensioners are in a far worse state than anyone , simply because we do not ever go on strike . My wife and i have not had any holiday since 2010 and never abroad .
So before people complain think of us Pensioners .
Lucky for us we do not have a credit card at all (wife never had one and my last one was in 2004) Its the buy now pay back 30% later per annum is the problem . While people use these "things" they will get themselves in trouble . ( note my ex left me with £4000 credit card bill in 2005) .
You need to see a citizens advice person if you have real problems . And why did you have to have that holiday in 2019 and pay with your credit card or is it this year you had one. yes i have heard all the excuses "oh it was for the kids ? " Actually it was you was it not "bring out the credit card" We pay back later with our £30k income , forgetting the fact have to pay things like rents , mortgage , loans , power bills water bills ,clothes travel. Wow where did the money go ? #
And our total income a year ? is a huge £15k net a year after tax (wife has no income as she is too ill to work , but is not allowed any money as she is not ill enough to receive benefits) And have the normal bills of rent (council) water electricity food and still able to run a 2003 Nissan XTRAIL 2.5 petrol ) so how do we do it, we do because we have too ( still have netflix Amazon prime and Sky Formula one and internet ) . Sorry i do not have any sympathy . Your credit card is dangerous get rid of it now . Remember guys if you have kids you get child allowance , by the way how much is it now??? "per child
