How do you feel Brexit will affect your personal finances?

29 January 2019

The UK is set to leave the European Union on 29 March (see our Brexit help guide). So we wanted to test your sentiment about Brexit and its effect on your pocket, rather than the general economy.
Of course exactly how we'll leave (or possibly even if) is still a matter of much debate, so this is more a gut reaction to leaving – based on what we know – than an examination of the specifics.
So how do you FEEL your finances will be affected – which of these is closest to you view?
