My son’s bike from @SmythsToysUK has nothing but problems. 13 months old & I think I’ve spent more money on repairs than what was spent on the bike 😩🤦🏼♀️
Welcome to The UK where:
£100 now feels like £10
£500 now feels like £50
£1000 now feels like £100
You're taxed on absolutely everything.
Going to the shop for a few bits now costs you as much as a weekly shop did a couple of years ago.
Rent and bills have doubled in the last few years.
You're not struggling to save money because you buy coffee, have subscriptions and actually spend some of your money on something other than bills.
You're struggling because the people in charge are taking advantage of hard working people, rinsing you for every penny they can and making everything too fucking expensive.
Earn £60,000 and HMRC takes your child benefit back. Your neighbour earns £59,000 and their spouse earns £40,000.
Combined income: £99,000. They keep every penny.
The High Income Child Benefit Charge doesn't care about household income.
