If it helps the 3 orange lines represent the same decrease over the same time from non-seasonal peak and I've applied them to the other dips in the curve.

I think it’s the delta over the 2020 period and the subsequent decline from there that people might be feeling.
That’s more than 2% off the post 2020 peak.

I do not wish to quote post and I don’t want to get into it with them but we used to have a phrase on newsgroups that fits for this one.

I won’t say getting my copy wasn’t without pain. They were over subscribed and screwed up my order for literally a year but it was worth the wait.
Lots of lovely if slightly silly stuff in it.

No it wasn’t though.
It was pretty high from 1965 onwards and stayed high relative to the prewar period. The period in the mid 80s was high compared to the post GFC
Period with way higher interest rates.

I think the problem is we had been through a period of historically incredibly low inflation. 1985 inflation was backed in and 3.5% is better than 15%.

It can be true that for a lot of households they have lots more money. Especially if you have what is effectively a ‘free’ mortgage.

So this plays. For example.
But that kind of increase will, at Lower income levels, basically wipe out most of the gains before we talk increases in student debt, utilities, food and healthcare costs.
