Should you be using a food bank?
It's come up this week a nurse has said that's what she earns and can't survive without a food bank.
A Tory mp has said on the airwaves that there is something wrong with her budgetin skills, in this instance i haveto agree with him.
And how does she get a voucher earning that type of money, thoughts? |  |

We aren't like other countries, could almost guarentee that lifetime mortgages would be used as a tool to raise house prices.
We need to be building houses on all the masses and masses of disused brownfield sites, may not be as desireable as building on our greenfields and countryside (for council back pockets and cowboy builders), but it is the only way. |
We could start a building program and use apprenticeship training included for all the building trades |  | | |

Some countries have life time mortgages perhaps that's the way forward for the young generation |
Absolutely not, as has been said it will just mean prices going up and up and future generations will become beholden and trapped in debt. House prices need to become more affordable which means a price correction and probably a lot of pain for those who’ve bought in the last few years, or a period of very long term price stability where prices don’t increase. Delivering the latter could be difficult unless government were prepared to regulate lending and there was a huge increase in housing supply. |  | | |

Kids clothes, treats. £200
Car insurance, fuel, upkeep, depreciation, etc to get to work. £300

Food bank needed. [Post edited 22 Jan 2023 20:21]

It's my personal beliefe that mortgages are alread ya rip off that are badly in need of more regulation.
When you take out a bank loan you get a fixed interest rate. The bank may have borrowed the money themselves at a fixed rate. Then you get a mortgage and you can get a short fixed rate but then the variable happens and it can murder peoples finances.
This is the lefty in me but there should be a natinal bank that offers fixed rate mortgages for the term of the loan. Profit isn't a dirty word but greed is. Banks are greedy.
Just like I believe our utilities should be nationalised and the profits used to keep taxes down, mortgages should also be a tool to make our lives better. | | | |

I’d say the £350 a month gas an electric is on the high side, unless the property is extremely energy inefficient. That’s said, I’d have added a few other things like broadband/internet as I see that as an essential these days, telephone, house/contents insurance should also be up there.
In terms of car, that seems a bit high, but if you’ve got a fair commute (in somewhere like Powys you could well have) and you’re budgeting for tyres, service, car tax, maybe a loan for the car it’s probably not far off. [Post edited 22 Jan 2023 19:53]

I think Builth has been quite conservative with his figures but yes, child benefit would help.
Of course, this government limited it to two children maximum in their usual thoughtful way. | | | |

It would all have to be done in house though, I don't think anyone could trust an apprentice built Persimmon home. They are pretty shoddy as it is with qualified tradespeople. | |

That's assuming a utility company owned by the state would be profitable. It could be, as long as the state remained effectively a silent partner and allowed it to be run as if it were a private company. |  |

The car is based on £10 a day to cover everything. That’s far too low.
I haven’t included anything like internet, tv, phone, etc etc. | |

Costs considerably less than £10 a day to run my car. Even if my fuel doubled it wouldn't be that much. | |

Well if the billions in profits were going to the state instead of already very rich shareholders the government could keep taxes down AND give pay rises.
How much profit do banks make off mortgages, imagine all that profit ploughed into infrastructure and into building more affordable housing.
You could be forgiven for thinking that running publci services so badly was a handy excuse for privatising things so the true potential profits could be handed over on a plate to the friends of politicians whose reward was a 3 day a month job on 500k per year when they left politics.
Think George '7 jobs' Osborne. | | | |

Purchasing costs? How much would that be per day?
It costs me a tenner a day just in fuel costs to get to work. | |

Again, it needs to be pointed out that "very rich shareholders" are mostly investment companies managing the savings of ordinary people or pension funds.
I can remember at the height of the outrage about British Gas profits and the whole Cedric Brown thing, someone actually looked at who the shareholders actually were and the single biggest was the British Gas workers pension fund.
It's a very good thing for the economy and anyone with a private pension if companies, including banks, do well and pay dividends to shareholders. | |

No.
it’s only the ones in particular circumstances which are predominantly led by relationship/family status, housing costs/location and age/number of children. | | | |

Situations change.
People buy houses when they’re in a relationship with no kids,
Eg a woman could get pregnant, man could leave her, mortgage sky rockets, one income not two come in.
Nothing to do with living within means. Again, we’re looking at the wrong people. |  | | |

I don't need the government to tell me food banks are being abused by many, I've seen it for myself, believe me.
Anyway, it's a lovely stick to beat the Tories with. | |
