    Hello Terry, sorry to snip the above. The reason I (OP) asked the question, was that I didn't recall much inflation post 2008 after UK QE Part 1.

    Good day, I want to understand what is driving inflation in the private sector (world-wide, not just UK). If it was Governments debt (public sector), I would "get it". Journalists in the Financial Times can't present a logical explanation without mentioning the FED.

    Car purchasing advice UK

    Old school here. I remember on a particular training course: "The car has replaced the horse as an extension of the male ego" :) I wouldn't touch a PCP or Lease, ever, unless I had money to burn. Best to you on your decision. 👍

    I'm worried about what people will think after I die...

    Interesting thread. I do think there is going to be a huge Pension issue for today's 20 to 30 year olds working in the UK private sector.

    Retirement

    I hate debt. Always have. I once worked for a UK PLC that seriously burned through shareholders over many Companies/Takeovers over 12 years. The former CEO is very well off and retired. He was full of rhetoric and had high contacts to raise the money over and again, across many business failures.

    Retirement

    I remember when "financial experts" managed to lose 30% of a Company Pension in the recession of 2008/9. If I had the opportunity (which I didn't) to turn it into cash when the crash started, instead of having to staying "invested" I would be better off (even allowing for inflation).

    Retirement

    But it would keep an income for you into and through retirement, (which was my point). Take a peek below at Civil Service jobs today (I picked Hertford << change to suit). There are still five million on furlough, which is an indicator of driving down salaries of employed people imo...
