Hmmm, the Daily Mail...think I'll wait and see what actually happens

[funfunfun]

I actually think thats fair wish me and my oh was on 30k a year !!

[louise-marie]

Do people earning over 30k need the extra money? probably not

[funfunfun]

Couldnt agree with you more !!

this will really effect me i think. i knew it would make changes but i'm sure they could look else where 1st, like the big wigs with the big houses and cars etc, it really annoys me!
my oh earns just under this so with my wage we just hit the £30,000. after bills etc i would be stuck not having this extra and i'm sure the parents will struggle so there goes more children ;-( one good point my dd get funded nursery in Sept well until they scrap that aswell!!!

[brightstar]

Haha, most couples in Wales would love to earn that much between them, if one person earned it they'd think they were rich.

[Rubybubbles]

yes we do

Sorry but my hubby works blooming hard for his money and pays so much in tax it's nice to get something!

I hope it doesn't go, but we only get £40ish a month anyway but we do put it straight away for the kids.......looks like its a good job the way you some think we shouldn't get it thanks!

I watched Nick Clegg on GMTV and he would not commit to what the 'cut off' point was going to be about the Tax Credits, and from what I gathered Child Benefit was not going to be affected.

Do people earning over 30k need the extra money? probably not

it depends on where they live really and 2 adults working just above minimum wage will earn £30K between them so in reality it will affect millions of families
it will probably affect 2 of my families, which will probably see the help they get towards childcare reduced too so i wonder how it will affect my business

also the free swimming scheme is to be scrapped

[Carpet Monkeys]

But supposedly there are going to be Income Tax Breaks too .....

[Hebs]

i doubt they'll come in straight away as they are trying to save money

Trying to be the voice of reason here do any of you believe what you read in the daily mail?, it doesn't matter where you live we are all in this together the government will tell us what the government will do next week, so all i can do is ask why is everyone getting wound up over rumours and half truths

[~Chelle~]

I have to laugh when people report stories from the Daily Mail & everyone gets all steamed up about it. It's the biggest load of tosh out there

[Mookins]

never been anywhere near that amount in our family, the most ive ever been on was £11k and hubby was £18 before we were ever together


the £50k i could understand but £30k, if you live and work in expensive areas surely thats gonna really hit home

doesnt really give insentive to get people backto work does it?In one hand straight out the other

im a firm believer in if we stop buying produce from abroad and use our own, that would help immensley, create more jobs and get britain back to being GREAT!

I SHALL NOW STAND DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX

It definately depends where you live, to those of you who live in the north 30k may sound alot to those of us in the London area £30k doesn't go far at all.We live in a a very modest 3 bed semi and our mortgage is well over a £1,000 a month and if you had to rent you could stick another couple of hundred on that and thats before you start on our extortinate council taxes
