Let me tell you something you pompous stuck up tosspot. Myself and my partner were both working full time. We are both university eductated. We rarely go out. We have a house, no kids, a car each because our jobs required us to travel, no excessive loans, nothing mbuttive the credit card balances compared to the horror stories we hear about now, and a mortgage of a 1-3rd of that, that many first time buyers are having to take. Yes we have sky and broadband and a mobile phone each (mine on contract hers on PAYG).
I had trouble each month, despite not actually touching my wages because that only apid bills, avoiding going into my overdraft. And that was doing the best paid job locally I could find for my work skills.
Lib Dem's plans to tax motorists 645On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 21:26:40 +0100, SteveH was popularly supposed to have said: You still don't get it, do you? Trying to tax rich people is a hiding to nothing...
We struggled. Cancelling Sky wouldn't help because then to get entertainment would require going out, and a months Sky subscription might just pay for 1 maybe 2 nights out. The Sky package is better than nothing and cover the whole month.
That is all irrelavent now anyway. I've just been made redundant for the second time in 3 months. First time I got the basic minimum, second time I wasn't due anything. So Our income has more than halved. I don't think I'm due anything more than the basic income support, and only have about 2 months money in the bank. I'm worried. I'm applying for 3-5 jobs a day, I've had one interview in a week for CarPhone Warehouse and they turned me down. if I sell my car, the cost of travelling for interviews may become too excessive.
So don't for one second try to tell me it is kids and credit that are killing this country's wage earners. -- Carl Robson
