NorthernStar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 It could be time to pick up a cheap cruise ………. (That’s not a joke) I was contemplating that very line of thought this morning and decided that the nearest thing to a cruise I could afford was a model of a cruise liner:| So I phone up the local model shop and asked the guy if he had a model of an Italian cruise liner and he said he only had one left, he put the phone down on me when I asked him if he could put it on one side for me:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey104 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was thinking of handing in my notice to claim some of those benefits that are going to be capped at £26000. I would be a whole lot better off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Rent, car insurance, council tax etc. etc. Is it any wonder people sign on. £6.5k car insurance. Show me £10k of pre tax salary given to a man expected to drive for a living (even if only to commute) and I will cure unemployment! Just remember to bow unto your LANDLORD! For it is him you must work for, he has the land upon which you proles can grow the food to feed yourself, for such a privilege you should be grateful for overtime wiping his backside and cleaning his house after having built it in the first place.

ratter71 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wages may or may not have kept up with inflation over the last 10 years but that doesnt mean we arent a LOT worse off. We're a lot worse off because one off costs like car insurance doubles. That could be £500 straight out of your disposable income you have to find. Not many people have £500 left over at the end of the average month. Energy bills creep up and extra couple of hundred quid each year. Some scrote kicks your wing mirror off. Thats £500 Petrol goes up. Extra £100 Train fares up 5% - extra £100 All these extra few hundred quids were what you enjoyed spending last year, but this year they aint there anymore. Do you feel like things are getting tighter despite your earnings increasing each year / not having gone down? People are just about hanging on at the moment. Just wait untill the interest rates go up and your mortgage doubles. That will be when the next housing crisis starts as everybody downgrades. We're doomed. DOOMED I TELL YOU Then they should work harder/budget better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Inflation is predicted to drop significantly over the next 2 years so hopefully it'll take the pressure off price increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
