    On average, I’d guess it’d be 2 for most people who already got into the property market and are comfortable with what they have. 1 for people who are starting out/trying to buy things.

    I’d rather the prices of things stopped getting insane so we didn’t have to try to keep up with huge pay rises though, in general. I don’t know how the world can turn this around and things can get better. All of the systems around the world are effectively just ‘made up’ so I feel like the world as a single unit could just decide to make it a better place for most at the expense of annoying those profiting most from the current system, but that’s some John Lennon Imagine style daydreaming and I think the days of things being good for the masses is over and just going to get worse.

    Yay now I’m sad.

      I would love for the highest paid in a company to have their wage proportional to the lowest wage (ie. 30x), enshrined in law, so there is still motive for increasing profit but it benefits everyone.
