1) Unemployment? Were there mass job cuttings in any specific fields?
2) hourly wages? Did they went up/down?
3) Food prices? Did they went up?
4) Utilities? Did their prices went up?
5) Rents?
6) Taxes?

The whole shemitah / 7 year cycle / doomsday mumbo jumbo makes me somewhat concerned. The only thing that I managed to find out from one work collegue of mine was 15% house price increase in 2008 untill it got down again.

Any long term UK inhabitant that can clue me in as to what expect if shit hits the fan?

PS: I dont have any debts or mortgages so save it.
PS2: Was supposed to be 2008 in the tittle.
