Annnnnnnnnd prices are going up. Hello inflation! Sony raised the price of the PS5, Nintendo raised the price of the Switch 2. Looking at items in my wishlists, the prices are creeping up in general. So much for China paying them 🙄.

I intend to support the refurb market even more. I've always been a fan of refurbs (provided there is a money back guarantee). Now, I may consider them before even considering a new item. Another + for the planet too.

“One is left to wonder, why do parties of both major #political persuasions keep doing things which they know will put upward pressure on #house #prices, and thus exacerbate the #problem they say they are trying to solve?

It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the reason is that they know there are only about 110,000 people who each year succeed in becoming first home buyers. And even if you assume that for every one who does, there are five or six who don’t, that’s still only 700,000 or so votes, tops, for policies that might restrain the rate of house price inflation or halt it altogether.

Politicians also know that at any point in time there are more than 11 million voters who own their own homes, and more than 2.25 million who own at least one investment property. The last thing those 11 million to 13 million voters want is anything that might restrain – let alone halt – the rate of property price #inflation.” — #SaulEslake
