I know I have savings, but I'd hoped not to use them all right now. And when they're gone, then what?
Sell one of your Rolex. Sell a car or some jewellery. Cut expenditures. That holiday home, get rid of that too (ok that’s not easy but you could take a loan against it maybe)
This is what people did in the 80s when shit got real. It turned out ok, mostly.
Erm.
Rather than piling in, someone here is saying "fuck. I was looking for a bit of help from the government here. Considering the tax and ni contributions I've made, why not? On some level I'm not withdrawing from the state but am paying in. I need help. I know I have savings, but I'd hoped not to use them all right now. And when they're gone, then what?"
