Some self-emplyed people are taking pay cuts, just to keep some sort of money coming in.
Anyway, it isn't the percentage that matters but how much you earn.
6% of your £60-70k salary is far more than 6% of the average salary.
But you knew that, anyway.

Thought I'd wind you all up with the fact I'm getting more than most, to be honest!!
Inflation is running at 5% and my Pension is costing me another 1% this year - so, the net increase is a BIG FAT ZERO!!!, but at least I'm not looking at a practcal reduction in salary this year like many of you suckers
Teachers are getting 7.5% this September ... Bankers are still getting fat bonuses, I'm doing better than most of the private sector ... you 'normal, everyday, workers' are getting shafted!!
So look at me and **** you all

Ooops, I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest - just my expression of disgust at getting effectively a zero rise.
I do appreciate that 6% is around £5100 - but, my cost of living must have gone up that much - AND I'm paying more at 40% than I was ... just to fund Teachers huge payrises and Gold Plated Pensions!
Not happy about it all to be honest.
To those with no payrise - why should you fund the Teachers 7.5% payrise from your taxes?

Dito for police - i'm still waiting for my 1.3% rise from a year ago....
Can't even be bothered now to look if I'm getting one this year
But my pension contribution is now set to rise and they are getting rid of our 'shift allowance' - so I'm looking at a 6% reduction in my pay

After the mess your heroes left this country in, both financially and the state of moral degradation it has sunk into, you should could yourself very lucky to still have a job let alone a 6% payrise. Just imagine how happy most people would feel with another £5K PA and thank your lucky stars!

"IF" you really do earn that much-which i doubt- then you earn considerably more than any teacher ( apart from secondary head).
So, considering the avarage uk salary is around £ 26,000 then i really dont think you have to worry too much about milk and the gas going up- especially as you drive a cheap Honda diesel and probably dont get out much
. Enjoy the feed!!

I thought teachers' pay increase was (rightly) frozen at 0% this year? Where does your 7.5% come from?
I'm not sure I believe your claimed 6% (suspect you're baiting / bullsh1tting as usual) but if it's true, it's pillocks like your employers that drive inflation up. Only by holding wages back can inflation be brought under control, otherwise it's a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Oh well, you win some and loose some eh 
Roll on Sept, the wife can take me out for dinner with the proceeds of her payrise 
At least the money you're saving on fuel running your (ever so boring) Honda diesel will make up for your lack of 'real' payrise!
