    [cite]Posted By: Chirpy Red[/cite]I earn over £250k a year, have no mortgage and therfore couldn't give a toss. Get those interesst rates up I say, it pays me more money on my savings.

    That's a nice salary, Chirpy. Good for you! *thumbs up*

    I should imagine most on here are earning a lot less. Any ideas how we can aspire to that level of income?

    It sure would help at the moment - and take the worry out of the present situation.

    I took what you said at face value, Chirpy ........ £250k, I was mightily impressed - and there was I thinking, what can I learn from Chirpy?

    I should have known better! lol

    Revising inflation targets is like sweeping the problem under the carpet. Inflation has more risk to the economy, jobs, small businesses, large businesses and prosperity than higher interest rates ever will. Given that the latest interest rate moves (in the UK) have been down then a rise shouldnt pose too many problems.

    given that downward movement on interest rates hasn't affected mortgage rates due to the interbank lending rates, I wonder if the same will be true when they raise them... somehow I doubt it
