Often, we form opinions based upon inherent biases. For instance, is a rate cut by the ECB good or bad? Generally, it’s a welcome move, and we look at the benefits those with debt have and rattle off the savings the lucky ones with tracker mortgages will make. We rarely rue the fact that savers are hurt by the exact same move.
