@sepe_aeturnum You can pretty comfortably get by with 2 part time working adults in a household. My wife and I collectively only work ~48hrs a week and we own a home and have kids.
If I need more I work more, but we can go to spoons on a weekday pretty regularly if we chose.
@SimonSchfe45703 “My chosen exercise is cycling. I just love it. I occasionally go to the gym, and I lift free weights. I used to lift very heavy weights in my mid-20s. I used to bench press over 300lbs. The most I ever lifted was 330lbs.”
>Natural default
Lol, lmao
@FbpeReynard@RobertJenrick "In the 2022–2023 tax year 31,500 estates out of roughly 683,000 total UK deaths paid Inheritance Tax" or about 4-5%
Ordinary people do not pay IHT.
@AaronBastani@garyseconomics This is just a housing price graph that actually factors in inflation for once.
The question is, where did all those people with expensive houses go? Even if they sold they'd still have the same net worth so they must have left the country and taken their wealth with them.
@SeanMombo I agree with him that mythological/fairytale dwarves are not just people with "dwarfism", so requiring someone with the medical condition to play one is silly.
But also a role cant be played by a dwarf actor without it being a key aspect of their character as it was with Tyrion
@DanNeidle First its a flat rate, then they make it progressive to be more "fair", then they freeze the bands, then they just raise it a bunch because after all "we have an aging population don't you know"
Along the way adding exemptions for political client groups ofc.
@TheParaInvestor Its only 0% if you do nothing with all the excess cash you save, especially upfront, by just renting:
Fees
Stamp duty
Repairs
New boiler
I have a mortgage, I think its generally best practice for most people to get a paid off home before they retire, its low risk but low gains
@CovfefeAnon They've changed the rules in most actual powerlifting comps to get rid of these sort of things after it started getting too ridiculous, but this is from the disabled Olympics not a powerlifting association so it still exists there as the whole competition is a joke anyway.
@johndotwills@Michael_Mcghee@UnderSneege He's right about it and the only actual solution is to get women out of the workplace. That's not going to happen though so the only real alternative is to have a wife who works maybe a dozen hours a week at some flexible job, £600-1000/m extra a month is a big deal.
@MrHarryCole Previous PMs all genuinely believed it's Brays "right" to be a spastic in public.
Doesn't seem to be the case for Burnham. He seems to be plugged in enough to know everyone hates the guy. Turns out you can just make things happen if you actually want to, who knew.
@prettier_sister You continue your lineage with the ideal that they will improve iteratively across the generations, you don't have to be a perfect person right now to want a better future.
Every successful family originated from 1 dude who began with nothing.
@Arwenstar Median wage 38k, 8% pension contribution (+whatever employer puts in) is minimum £250/month + whatever your partner earns. Do that for 40 years while paying mortgage and youll have plenty of money.
You can also save less when your kids are young then ramp up when they move out
@NickPriceLDN@MBG_95@MontyCristo11 You can overpay to reduce that time significantly.
Definitely worth it for someone earning 100k+, not so much if you're below £50k/yr.
