Default Child Benefit Rant

Excuse the following Rant

We are now expecting our first bubby,

I have worked and still work exceptionally hard to have got where I am and I am fortunate enough to be in a well paid job because of my efforts.

I have paid my NI for 10 years, and now I actually could really do with a little bit extra from the chancellor they are going to axe it for me, because I have worked feking hard all my life and got where I am, paying a flipping fortune in tax every month.

I haven't relied on this money coming forward, its not in any of my financial plans, but just for once I though I might get a little something back, by the time our bump is here it will have been axed....

add this to the fact that despite that fact I drive an efficient company car, as its not a hybrid, every year they keep fecking me over on the tax too...

This country is falling apart but by bit, and I wish they could see quite how bad they are fuging it up and how consistently they are making dumbass poorly thought out tax polices....

Right..

Time for lunch

rant over

I don't really know the ins and outs but I would support any sensible caps on benefits. I think it makes sense that you shouldn't be better off on benefits than you would be working.

A mate of mine who also earns a good wage cancelled his child credits or similar because he felt wrong receiving them on his wages.

The sooner they licence having kids, bringing in a mod 1 & 2 in order to qualify having them, the better.

I think it's only Tax Credits being axed if you earn over £40 something thousand a year, child benefit you should get regardless. The house of lords voted to exclude it from the benefit cap yesterday anyway.

I work full time and get child benefit and tax credits.

You don't get Tax credits or Child Benefit paid directly into your wages, it is paid separately into your bank direct from DWP and HMRC, Tax Credits is weekly, child benefit is monthly.

I dont see why you should be rewarded for having kids there is too many people in the world as it is.

I've paid NI for over 25 years and still not received any benefits.

You should not be rewarded for having kids, hence why i work 40 hour weeks, what i do receive helps but it you can hardly feed 4 kids on it, i chose to have children and work bloody hard to support them, if my benefits get cut then i will just work harder, i certainly won't p**s and moan about it.

This isn't going to make me popular, but I'm sorry...

I can't see why I should subside someone else's lifestyle choice. Its your choice to have kids, you pay for them.

Its not just the tax polices that are pooly thought out!

But what can you do about it? all the time the main 3 partys are in power and being run by stuck up, private schooled toffs who are so out of touch with 95% of the population nothings going to change.

Look at any of the footage from parliment, 90% of the time its just argueing and taking pot shots at the other side of the room, pointing out mistakes and dissagreeing with each other just cos of what side of the room their sat on regardless of whats actually being talked about.

If they put half as much effort in to working together and comming up with answers / solutions to the problems this country has, it would be almost fixed by now!

As for the state of the finances of this country don't get me started!
there as loads of easy ways to fix the problems they just aint got the balls to do it!

Good luck with your first born mate. You are wise to budget without taking any benefits into account. They're definitely gonna be changing radically over the next 10 years.

Kind of agree with this though. I think we're at a plateau now where our population could do with levelling out, so having more than 2 kids is unsustainable. People with 2 kids or less should have some support and having more kids should be discouraged. I think a bunch of overpopulated Asian countries use this technique, and then there is China who are far more hardcore.

£81.20 a month gets paid into our account since having Nate last March, £81.20 a month then gets transferred in a savings account in his name, that should put him through Uni/Buy a car hopefully.
We didnt factor it in to our finances before deciding to have him, we didnt think about it at all tbh.

Dont blame those who dont have kids for thinking "why should I pay for someone elses", Im not too happy that I too am paying for everyone elses cos I sure as hell pay a lot more tax than £82 a month. If you're relying on £82 to be able to afford a kid then you shouldnt be having one. NOT THAT THATS WHAT THE OP IS SAYING>>>

OP,
You'll be pleased to know that as it has been stated the CHB hasnt been axed... yet.
