Now watch as your bank ups your mortgae rate jumps to meet this as soon as the BoE puts up interest rates while your savings rate somehow doesn't.

I've just been informed there will be no 'cost of living' pay raises this year. So I've effectively had a pay cut then

Thanks goodness for fixed rate mortgages. As far as savings go, thanks to these bloody bankers and the downturn, I have very little savings left to make money on anyway.

I think I'm on a pay freeze this year. My girlfriend has had a 2.5% pay cut, her Christmas pay has been halved and her employer won't be paying "holiday" money either (for each day of holiday, they generally pay an extra couple of Euros).

I had that for five years in a row in one job. Part of the reason why I moved companies.

Average earnings for people in the middle has been static for most of the past decade. The cost of living has shot up in that time.
