Food prices are now really high. I have to allocate a lot more time to finding cheap food for lunch and dinner. It's too expensive to get snacks on the street now.

I have shares and the prices have dropped, but I'm not too worried. They are investments for the next 20 years. But I am worried that my customers are spending less.

It's made me think about my future. England's been badly affected, so it's not a good time to return and look for work. In terms of my day-to-day life, it hasn't really hit me at all.

People in my profession will probably have more work in these troubled times. I can't retire for at least another 30 years, so it's not too much of a concern for me.

It's affected my travels because plane ticket prices have sky-rocketed. It hasn't negatively affected my long-term future. It presents an opportunity for investors.
