Just listening on the news that only the top 20% will be worse off. I had never realised before that I am that well off to be honest !
I think we will be about £250 worse off if the online predictor things are right - we have 3 kids, 1.3 FTE salary (both work part time) with a middling salary (average about 40-45K between us). I think the money we will lose will be from falling off the top of the child tax credit limit (just).
I don't particularly expect handouts from the govt at my level of income, but I was surprised that our income puts us as high as the top 20% - I would have thought a bit above the middle. There must be a very long tail stretching out to the high earners.
It made me wonder roughly how many others are similarly unaware that they are classed as the wealthiest 20%.
