They should have paid their taxes then - as far as the reports have it, no-one paid any taxes!! Tough luck, in that case!! Corruption from the top down!
True - a lot of work is Part-Time ..... but, nothing is stopping anyone bettering themselves - what is it with todays youth, wanting everything on a plate without the graft to get there?
Again, True ..... but, how many people actually get off their butts and move their suppliers? Not many - again, apathy and laziness which wasn't the rule 30 years ago!
There have been pre-Xmas sales for decades now ... it isn't a reflection on the economic situation, rather a reflection of what the buying public want to see.
My wages have exceeded those of the higher Supermarket prices, as a whole.
Lot's selling here in the South - there has really not been much of a fall at all, a stagnation maybe ... which is a slight fall in real terms of course - but nothing that cannot be coped with with ease.
I agree - £85k is a very low amount to guarantee in these days where 92% of the population have savings of more than that .... however, it was a lower amount a few years ago ... so, that has improved somewhat.
Very true ...... I have no idea at all. If you are 25 now then I expect you will have to work until you are 85 before you can afford to retire.
That said, 30 years ago the average age for a male dying was 67 - 2 years after retirement .... now, that sits at around 75 - 7 years later! That cannot be funded.
The newborns of today will die aged 100+ so they say - they will have to work until 95 to make the same maths work.
The world has changed - it will never be the same again .... for better or for worse.

Carlh ...... I have a real problem each month with around £3,500 surplus to get rid of - you honestly wouldn't believe what a pain in the rear end it is trying to put spare cash somewhere worthwhile, when it is mounting at an ever increasing rate ......... let me know if you have any ideas?

The real reason is I want to pilfer some of your £3500 monthly expendable income into my own account. Sadly i'm so thick I have just told you my plan and I now fear it won't work

That would be the income for which I have nothing to do with, disposable income?
If I gave you £3,500 this month then, I'm afraid, I will have the very same problem next month ...... then. of course, there is the wifes income to do something with.
You have no idea how hard it is, and how mind bendingly painful, to distribute it wisely!!
Think yourself lucky to be thick ..... these trivial things will never trouble you.

What is the definition of expendable income?
In: Income Taxes [Edit categories]

Answer:
For the individual taxpayer or person it would be any excess amount after all taxes, bills, insurances, medical expense, living expenses, transportation expense, and amounts that should be put into the savings and retirement accounts.
After you take care of all of your necessary expenses then if you have any thing left that would be an expendable amount of your net income.
^^^^^^^^You're welcome!
I think you'd be surprised/jealous if you ever saw my pay slip......
