Allen Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You can buy a flat on Regents Court for about £55k..... one person on just above NMW can afford that, and its not a bad place at all. And once you've bought it you start paying service charges.....currently about £3000 a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enhills Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You can, that is called "paying you own way"...IF you want something go get it dont sit crying when you cant get it and expect the Nanny stateto come along and make it all better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppet2 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 My minds made up...IF you are earning the NMW at say 25 you have done someting wrong in your life-plenty of time to put it right but not the best time to want kids, houses, holidays etc. Thats not particularly "nice" but it is particularly true. Unfortunately many graduates leave university with no job. Their option is to either sign on the dole or take any job that involves supermarket work, for minimum wages. Would you rather they languish on the dole or take up MW jobs, even at 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enhills Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Id rather they work, but Id not expect them to want to play happy families using someone elses money...... and that "someone else" isnt the benighted tax payer, its the old the ill and the infirm that will suffer.

Se7enhills Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ther is only so much even the Governments we suffer can take off the people, so there s a limited pot of money available to dole out understand that bit? So if the pot is limited, savings have to be made "somewhere" Got that? And it is politically easier to "think of the children" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
