The UK essentially lost its job in march, but has been maintaining the same lifestyle on the credit card ever since. And that credit card company has been lending to everyone, and we've underwritten that debt ourselves - which should be fine as we have a good job.
There's a lot of pent up demand as the housing market froze with the lockdown.
Unfortunately when the government furlough scheme ends, hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
A clearer picture will emerge in the next few months.
As you know, there are problems with comparing a nation's finances with a credit card. Anyway roll on the debt jubilee.
Oh, not good for my parents then who are looking to put their house on the market next year
