In this solo YouTube monologue, Rob Moore warns that energy prices are set to rise dramatically, potentially adding about £700 to the average household bill. He attributes the surge to a combination of macro‑economic shocks—COVID‑19 lockdowns, Brexit, the war in Ukraine, supply‑chain disruptions, and quantitative easing—that have driven up inflation, food costs, taxes, and overall cost of living. Moore urges viewers to prepare by taking five practical steps: (1) cut non‑essential daily spending; (2) for business owners, claim all allowable expenses via HMRC to reduce tax liabilities; (3) make small daily savings that add up over a year; (4) protect cash from inflation by investing in income‑producing assets such as property or digital assets; and (5) increase earnings through side‑hustles, overtime, or value‑based pay‑rise negotiations. He emphasizes the urgency of sharing this warning, promises a forthcoming deep‑dive on protecting money, and frames the current “Orwellian” economic climate as both a risk and an opportunity.

New energy price rise shock, as if energy heating, gas, electric isn't high enough. Breaking news just in that there's likely to be an increased cap again, resulting in a £700 a year extra bill on the average energy, um, bill, price, whatever you want to call it. This is shocking. There's too much of this. It's going up and up and up and up. Inflation is as high as it's ever been. Food is as high as it's ever been. Cost of living is as high as it's ever been. Energy— oil, gas, electric— is as high as it's ever been. It's going on and on and on. Tax is nearly as high as it was in the late '70s and early '80s. So I'm telling you why. One, because it's outrageous and it's shocking. It's probably I actually was talking to my wife saying that, you know, obviously COVID and lockdown has caused a lot of this. My wife said a lot of it was probably caused by Brexit, and actually in a way lockdown and COVID masked a lot of the issues around Brexit. And now of course the war has masked a lot of the issues around COVID and lockdown. But if you think about it, Brexit, COVID lockdown, wars. Add all of these contributing factors— lack of supply chain, lack of ability to trade, businesses shut down, sanctions from trade across borders, you know, a lot of obviously gas and oil from Russia, which is obviously going to reduce in supply, increase in price. This is all— this is just all going batshit bonkers, mad, wild, crazy. So I wanted to warn you that this is real and that you need to prepare for it. Some people have been saying to me, Rob Moore, that's a bit doomsday, you're being a bit negative. No, I'm being realistic. So as if your gas, electric, heating, food, and all other main subsistence, as if that isn't high enough, it's getting higher. As if inflation isn't high enough, it's getting higher. The quantitative easing, like Sean Paul has just said, is likely to get higher because the government have got to erode their debt somehow. So devaluing the value of money devalues the value of their debt. This is all real. Now hit the share button and please warn everyone else about this. We must— yes, we must be calm, but we must be realistic. We must plan and prepare for this because many people finding an extra £100 a month is really difficult. And if food is up and inflation is up and taxes are up and energy and heating and electric are up, okay, so hit the share button, warn everyone else. Now here's what you can do about it. Number 1 is all non-essential spending you've probably got to reduce. Number 2 is if you own a company, make sure you're claiming everything that you can as against the company. Make sure you go and check on the HMRC website. There's lots of things that you can offset as a business expense that you don't know that you can. So make sure you're claiming everything so that you're reducing your tax bill. Number 3 is you want to make those little savings every day. I don't know if you have a cup of coffee every day from, you know, Starbucks or Costa. I don't know if you buy your lunch every day. I don't know if you use Uber or taxis every day, but actually when you add all of those up, they're many thousands of pounds a year. The next thing is you've got to protect your money against inflation. So yes, you need to save to make sure that you're, you know, you've got surplus money left, but you don't want to leave money in the bank because inflation is so high. So you need to invest it in an asset that produces income. You protect it against the devaluation from inflation, which in reality is probably like 10% plus now. If you can protect that cash from inflation, maybe putting it into property or some kind of digital asset, then of course you're not losing that 10% a year, and then hopefully you can create some recurring income and have some, you know, increase in capital value. I'm actually going to do a deep dive piece of content on all the ways you can protect yourself from all these price rises, the money that you can save. The next thing that you need to do is you need to probably earn some extra money. A lot of people look to save the pound, and the good thing about when you save a pound is you save the whole pound. Whereas when you earn a pound, you've got to pay all the taxes and you're left with probably 50 pence or 30 pence in the pound. So you save the pound, you make the whole pound. But are you doing maybe a little bit of overtime? Are you setting up your side hustle, you know, part-time business? Are you creating extra sales? Are you asking for referrals? Because actually, sometimes it can be kind of false economy to try and save the pound when you could make an extra £10. Are you going to your boss and Offering extra value to the company so you can get a pay rise. The big mistake people make is, 'I just want a pay rise because my cost of living is going through the roof,' but your boss doesn't care about that. Your boss needs to know that you're being valuable to the company. So sit down and work out, how can I be valuable to the company? What extra money can I make for the company? And then, can I increase my salary or commission based on that? So there are 5 tips, 5 things that you can do. I've got to go and do a live right now that you can see there. On my laptop. I'm about to do a public speech to 300 people, so I've got to go, but quickly. Inflation is almost as high as it's ever been. Food costs, energy costs, electricity, gas, heating. You travel anywhere, travel costs have gone through the roof. Your taxes are as high as they have ever been, and you need to be warned, and I'm warning you. I'm not a negative guy, I'm a positive guy, but you must be realistic. Now you're realistic. Make sure you cut all unnecessary expenses, all those little things you spend every day— the coffee, the lunch, the taxis and all of that. Try and reduce that for a while. Make sure that you're claiming everything you can off as an expense. Go and check the HMRC website because many things you could be claiming as a business expense, putting through as an expense. Go and find out how you can be more valuable to your company and then go and ask for a pay rise based on the value that you can offer. And I'm going to do a nice detailed deep dive episode on all the ways you can save money and all the ways you can increase your revenue. Don't leave too much money in the bank because inflation is killing your savings and quantitative easing is killing your savings. Save quickly and then get that into an asset that locks it, protects it against inflation, goes up in capital, and creates recurring income. I talk a lot about recurring, recurring income, digital assets, physical assets. I wrote the book on money So just make sure you're following me here on my channel and I'll give you more content on that regularly. It is disruptive times, challenging times, difficult times, Orwellian times, but there are opportunities in these difficult times too. So hit the share button, warn everyone else, because let's be honest, interest rates are going to go up, inflation is probably going to go up, costs and prices could go up before they come down. There probably is a crash coming soon and there's going to be big opportunities in that, but it might take longer than you think. So you've got to be ready and you've got to be vigilant, and we've got to push back against all these tax rises, which I'm doing. So make sure you follow me, hit the share button, and remember this: if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
