Is western and particularly British society on the verge of social collapse??? What are the best common sense long term investment strategies to keep you rich?

178,800 borrowers, who took out mortgages in 2005, will face mortgage repayment increases of £185 a month

According to Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) 178,800 people, who took out mortgages in 2005, will face mortgage repayment increases of £185 a month as they come to the end of their fixed rate deals and move onto their lenders SVR rate this month - with a further increase should the base rate rise again this week...

On a typical £100,000 capital and interest repayment 25-year loan, the interest rate on people's loans will increase from typical fixed rates of 4.39 per cent (Moneyfacts 2 June 2005) to the current average SVR rate of 7.40 per cent (Moneyfacts correct as of 24 May 2007). This means that monthly repayments will increase by £185 or 33 per cent from £556 to £741, and represents a total cost for all 178,800 people of £33.08 million per month.
