The UK credit crunch has hit many people hard.
It will soon be 2010 and no one would have believed when the credit crunch happened in the first part of 2007, that all this time later we would still be in its grip, and that the recession would by now be a thing of the past.
People have hoped against hope each month since the start of the credit crunch that at any minute or so it would seem that the credit crunch would be over and that everything financially would be back to normal.
This attitude was further increased by the constantly conflicting reports in the press and television news.
On some occasions we were delighted to be told that property prices were on the up as were mortgages and remortgages.
This made people feel more confident in the future of their finances, the stability of their employment and so on.
Days later we were advised by these very same newspapers that the mortgage and remortgage markets were stagnant and that property prices were falling.
After almost three years of this those struggling financially through working fewer hours for example are now grasping the fact the economy is nowhere near returning to normal and as such their income will not be as it was before the recession for some time yet.
If they have been struggling financially there is no longer any sense in simply waiting for the country to improve over night
