Aren't they about to have a very harsh reality check? If I'm understanding the government's help right? Grin

I'm obviously meaning the ones that bugger off, don't pay and live fancy lifestyles while claiming to be poor.

Ha! I hadn't thought of that .... Grin

IME so many are like this - for 17 years dickhead ExH has paid a pittance compared to what I know he earns. If this is going to bite him on. the arse, then good - well deserved!

Often people like that are too stupid to save it. They spend it all, living basically pay check to pay check. Just at a higher cost.

Everyone who has ever ripped me off have always had the 'nice life' but with no savungs to back it up. I expect all the arsehole twats not paying for their kids will be the same

My immediate thought too.

Also, can someone explain paye and dividends to me. Do someone people pay dividends to make their actual salary look smaller?!

@Ncforcfthreads

Yeah that's the problem for a lot of them. They don't think to save anything. Seen a lot of people in big paying industries who don't save anymore, but have very expensive lifestyles. Then they get made redundant and aren't happy at the amount they get from jsa.
