I was talking to a friend yesterday, and she said that she saves all of her child benefit in a special account, which she will give their children when they are 18.
I have never done this at all! Child benefit goes straight into an account which my husband and I use for family expenses. Also I have no idea how this would work practically, as the first child would presumably get a much larger slice of the pie, owing to the fact that the second child gets less CB! Not to mention, the fact that I have to pay my child benefit back via my self assessment in any year that I earn over a certain amount.
AIBU To think that child benefit is to be used for every day expenses?
