So your original post was in regard to negative financial consequences, not quality of life. So far the UK has far exceeded expectations since Brexit especially compared to EU countries. Luckily you have articulated and agreed with one of the main drivers behind Brexit. Quality of life is not dictated by GDP. Brits were repeatedly warned of the potential economic (short and long-term) consequences of Brexit (short term turned out to be absolutely incorrect) but decided having full sovereignty was worth it. They decided Brexit would lead to a better quality of life even if it meant a weaker economy.
