Re: £42,000 a year benefits
Surely there should be some system designed similar to a Time Constant graph where one kid gives you a big chunk but the more kids you have the less money you get and once you get to 5, get bent for more money.
You look now and the younger you are the more your looked down upon. I'm 21 and managed to swindle getting my own house, bike and car. I am currently £85k in debt and literally have everything through the back door.
My house was bought because of land problems and the need to get rid of it, my bike was 0% dealer clearance and my car was bought off a guy i work with and cost me £500. I've worked to get my apprenticeship completed and now should get a job at the end which will hopefully allow my debts to fall down and then i can start to look into travelling etc . . but to see clowns like this have 2 big cars, a big house worth more than i could ever afford.
Another problem to throw into the equation, Average house price is £160k and average wage is £22k compared to 13 years ago i imagine the ratio was 6/7 years wages to a house price not 7/8 years, which is a hell of a lot more money.
Another idea, why not make these mothers help working mums out by looking after their kids for free?
