My wages, the value of my home, are now worth 20% less. If you're ok with that, good for you. I'm not.
My access to the EU faces being curtailed (not just travel inconvenience, but the permanent movement of my family). If you're ok with that, good for you. I'm not.
I could go on. You say: "maybe I'm just chilled". How about, maybe you're forgetting to put yourself in other peoples shoes, or grasping why it matters to them. If you're ok with that, good for you. I'm not.
- nul_byte 10y agoThe value of your home is 20% less if you want to sell it in a foreign currency.
- XJOKOLAT 10y agoWho would sell their home in a foreign currency? You're stating weirdly (imo, wrongly) You would sell your home in sterling. Sterling has been devalued. If you then wanted to act internationally, you would be curtailed to the tune of 20% Might not matter to you, but matters to me. I'm partially hedged but the vast asset base of the UK, and the salaries of all its workers, has been devalued by this move. And don't get me wrong, economics is the least of my concerns.
