Wages are rising above inflation, which means many will start feeling better off again. We need to get out of the mindset of having to scrimp constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this can be important, it shouldn\u2019t be at the expense of thinking about how to get a wage rise or how to start a business that will earn more money than being a salaried employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue is that many places don\u2019t talk about pensions, investing, and long-term wealth \u2013 that piece of the conversation is often missing. While there are obviously people on the knife edge at the moment, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s beyond redemption at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How will it change the way people in the UK think and feel about money over the long-term?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rising energy prices are one of the big drivers for the cost-of-living crisis, but these impact different people in different ways, as the energy bill goes up similarly for households despite income differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some people are still taking holidays and still paying for things, and those who can spend are still spending rather than cutting back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of this, other companies have happily pushed up their prices by more than inflation and people are still buying them. In terms of outcomes, the one big thing is the return of pay bargaining, which could be transformative for the economy and country more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, renters are typically struggling, and could create an entire generation who\u2019ve been unable to fulfil life choices that they want \u2013 such as affording to buy a house, getting married or even starting a family while you don\u2019t have that stability at home. We\u2019ll only learn the consequences of that in years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How will this new era impact things like financial aspiration or financial inclusion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A demographic shift to an ageing population would be a real issue, with a decreasing tax-payer base. Building more houses is the simple solution, so that more people can have their own homes and start their own families \u2013 and have a fair shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can we do to diffuse some of these ticking timebombs in the short to medium term?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to be pessimistic about it, and a change of government may not necessarily change the outlook. Even a seemingly simple solution of building more houses becomes extremely complicated when you look into it \u2013 as you need things like schools and doctors to go with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s economic growth that creates solutions, but there are coalitions of voters against this \u2013 where MPs are anti-development because it plays to their constituents\u2019 views. The upshot is real progress must come that some people are not going to want, but unless something is done to rectify the problems we face then other more powerful changes could take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to fix retirement policy and create a better way to help people retire than we have currently. People have been encouraged to hoard their wealth in their homes and other property which has created a lot of unintended consequences that are the source of many of the UK\u2019s biggest issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another bugbear we have with the government, regulators, and financial services is financial products are quite complex and make people need advice to understand them. The whole system is not easy to navigate, and we need to make things simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>if there\u2019s one conclusion to draw from the discussion around the cost-of-living crisis and the financial services industry, what do you think that should be?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, people\u2019s future should be in their own hands. Financial services and government just need to help people make the right choices on their own terms and empower people to come to the right decisions that benefit their long-term future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant change in the way we have conversations around long-term wealth is needed too. The cost-of-living crisis is now changing and when it comes to pay bargaining and people talking more openly about money, then maybe it\u2019s time for this change to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Edmund Greaves is editor of Mouthy Money, a personal finance community comprising real people talking about real dreams, successes, and failures when it comes to their money.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Formerly deputy editor of Moneywise, Edmund covered the full spectrum of financial services, from investing, pensions and savings to day-to-day budgeting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Edmund started in journalism as a political writer, editor, and consultant in the European Parliament in Brussels, before moving into financial journalism in London and later financial PR and latterly content as Head of Editorial at MRM.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Editor, Edmund Greaves, participated in the MRM Money Matters Index Summer 2023 Roundtable Report.
