The Russian rouble dropped to 110 against the US dollar on November 27, its lowest level since the start of the war in Ukraine. It has since rallied slightly, but the rouble is still down by 8% against the dollar over the past month.

My generation of baby boomers in the UK generally grew up with reasonable expectations of buying a home in our mid-20s with a 25-year mortgage, happily being able to afford a family, and maybe retiring in our early 60s with a comfortable pension.

The final sample was approximately evenly distributed by gender and age groups overall, although with some differences between groups (e.g., higher proportions of participants who were male, 65–74-year-olds, white British, or medium-high CVD risk in JBS3 compared with QRISK2; Table 1). A full report of the results is available elsewhere [30].
