gixer1 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) They are taking money out of MY pay, to pay YOUR tax credits. But I am not crying about it :rolls eyes: In all fairness you get your money for sitting on your bum eating ginsters and sleeping in the back of the cab... Hardly worth payin really... :yp: And you've no need to get out of bed for less than 20k as you are still at work when lying in the cab getting boned by the other lorry drivers Edited July 3, 2012 by gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I plan to go to Uni later this year, get a job when I'm done, weather my degree is relevent to said job or not. I'll likely to get work relevent to my studies because its an industry that will always be required but I'm not above stacking shelves or fixing cars if must. I'll earn money, I'll buy what I can afford and live life the best I can. Should I become unemployed with no jobs at all out there, sure I'll have to claim benefits, else starve to death, but you can be sure as Hell that I wont spend it on booze, fags and Sky TV while sat on my behind all day.

AVB Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 If you look through these posts there are some cracking bits of humour in them. I loved the "I don't have a sperm count" response myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 What's wrong with her staying at home with the kid until it's old enough to go to school and then getting a part time job? Either that or put up with only making £3.20 per hour and put it in nursery? As I said before, people have got it into their heads that they are entitled to free money and that's why the country is in the state that it's in. I work hard to look after myself as does my other half. The only reason we aren't married and don't have a kid now is that we'd struggle to afford it. It's too easy to let someone else cover it but that's not my thing so we're waiting until we've got a few more years off of the mortgage. Her parents have offered to put £10k to a wedding and I've made it clear that if it costs that much I'm not going to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I dont really earn enough to pay the mortgage bills etc on my own butif she sat at home we would be better off financial due to the benefits we would then get...thast the main point ...

rapid12 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 it dont help that the difference today as from the last generation is that everything is so expensive, tax , vat ,food , clothes and so on, back in the so called day you could fill the morris miner with fuel, fill the cupboards with food and dress your kids like little tramps all for a 1/4 of the weekly wage? now just to fill the familys bellys for the week costs 150 quid.

Muggins. Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 The benefit system is stupid. there are way too many variables and cut offs. The best situation to be in is perfectly healthy, a couple living together working part time earning under 20K each, with kids and a massive mortgage and debt. Part time under 20k each Most people don`t earn that full time and in some cases 20k is the total earnings of some couples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I broke my back last year, I didn't claim a penny, my darling wife supported me whilst I was recovering. The longest 9 months of my life sat home. I would get more money if I went down the disability road, but it's not for me, Im a tree surgeon and love going to work and having a crack with the lads. My nursery fees are more than my mortgage but we decided to have him and we will bring him up and provide for him. I do also feel for you Leeds chimp, i really hope you find what your looking for and get back on your feet soon. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make me larf. The wife and I did without a washing machine for the first 2 years of our marriage, and she did the washing every Saturday at her mums. If we couldn't afford it we did without.

huffhuff Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Lucky you then..some of us have to work for alot less a year but still go to work even though be better off sat at home living off the state... My main point is some people are lucky and are in good jobs so dont have to watch the pennies so to speak and have a high disposable income... If you are saying stop the tax credits then would not be worth SWMBO going to work..those tax credits we got helped pay the nursery fees which kept other people in work therefore creating jobs and more money back to the govenment in the form of other taxs I wish I could find/get a job that pays more but for the meantime we have to make do and get by... Now I like you a lot mate, we've met a few times now and you've been nice as pie. And fair do's on going to work when you'd actually be better off claiming on the dole or whatever. Kudos for you. I also fully appreciate everybody is different and each and everyone of us are in different situations. But (obviously that was coming), I cannot for the life of me see how you can bring this up when you have this as your signature; a bad days fishing is better than a good days working..

Spaniel Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 My son works off shore and his average monthly tax deductions are £2000. You should speak to him about people on benefits . I worked all my life and accrued a works pension and old age pension and I am still getting screwed for tax . Sorry not to much sympathy from me . Harnser . I know what you mean, i work all month and i get £1500 deducted....i only said to the wife the weekend how much better off we would be if that money was in our pocket.... I spend about £800 per year on my shooting, wildfowling, Pheasants and fishing, and then bits and bobs, but i have to work a whole year to afford to do that.....something just isnt right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 That's a decent but to the point response from huffhuff. I don't think people were better off years ago. In fact they had a hell of a lot less. Feeding the family was tough and they didn't have cars, phones, computers.... I could go on with a list as long as the page! My grandad used to pay half a weeks wages for a box of shotgun shells. If he wasn't confident of winging two geese with one shot he didn't pull the trigger!

Thunderbird Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 People don't always have children when they can't afford it. Often they already have a family when they fall on hard times. When my son was born I was in the middle of my best ever turnover year, but thanks to the credit crunch and recession within 12 months it was my worst ever. Can happen to anyone any time.

I'd have said the same to whoever the OP was. Xxx that's a little harsh, he probably scrimped and scraped for months to get the cash together for those. And another thing, all work and no play make jack a dull boy, why can't he can have a hobby? if he was on the dole he'd probably have a new motor sat out in the drive. bottom line is everyone with kids is entitled to these child benefits regardless of whether they need it or not, unfortunately matt you made the mistake of being too honest, i remember back when i used to work at the foundry, every time someone had their child benefit/family credit audit due, they'd stop doing any overtime and maybe take the odd day off to boot just to cut the wage packet down.
