Take home pay of 6k a month is well over medianI'd imagine that not too many people with this credhe bill would be applying for a mortgage, house extension maybe Is that constitutional, money in savings is money that has gone through the taxation system already, plenty of scope to increase property taxes

Surely if austerity gets so bad that we have to tax good savers then property prices will hit the floor in any case? A wealth tax is actually a plausible scenario in austerity, which in Ireland is another word for an increased property/land tax

How will property not drop like a stone after businesses are allowed to open back up. The global economy will be in a recession for the next year at least. I dont think Banks will shoulder Mortgage holders like they were asked to do before.

Take for example, people in the hospitality industry with high rental costs. They may be personally liable for the rent and have no income to pay it and the business might fail, meanig they will have no way to make back the money they lost. Some people who had little money before covid may be involved in one of the industries which is busier as a result of covid and can now earn more and also save more. For the many whose income has remained constant they are almost invariably spending less. What I think is that people of house buying age are more exposed to the covid downturn that generation x and y.

Did a quick tot in my head and my savings are spread across 12 different places such as banks, e wallets, revolut, betfair, share options and I can think of numerous other places I could easily hide it, some as simple as transferring to a family member whos under the threshold
