AIBU to be affected so much by it

[ForTwinklyMintSeal]

Name changed for post.

Cost of living is brutal i on a good salary of £27.1k per annum near Coventry and i am a single on my own no children and I checked not eligible for any benefits and Im struggling.

mortgage goes up soon due to rates energy food and water will probably go up soon too

its sucking all the joy out of life i struggle to sleep worrying about it and its affecting my performance at work to but they are making redundancies

aibu to be worrying about it so much

So it’s a benefits bashing post..

Have you looked at the Turn2Us website to see if you could get some benefits to help?

@Stripeyanddotty not meant to be just it makes me angry when i struggle when people with more money than me end up with my taxes its disqusting

With respect OP, on a salary of £27k you are paying a minimal amount of income tax - perhaps a couple of hundred a month - so you're hardly funding other people's benefits. I would direct your anger towards how disgracefully low wages are in the UK, not child benefit recipients who are hardly rolling in it themselves.

This is how they want you to feel. Like those who have nothing are taking from those who have nothing. And those billionaires laugh at us. Not one of your problems is because someone got a little help that they ARE ENTITLED to. Shut your moaning.

Jumped the shark too early OP. I was with you until you came onto a parenting website to slag off people in receipt of Child Benefit.

Been trying to get an evening/weekend job but no luck been searching indeed is there anything you think I should do

I got myself a second job cleaning, I was cleaning a college in the evening but I'm now cleaning a B&Q store before they open, 6am start finish at 9 and then go of to my other job. It's giving me an extra £700 per month.

@dovetail22uk thank just tried it says not entitled to anything

I disagree I pay tax to fund child benefit for people who are richer than me if I didnt pay that tax id have more money

No you are paying tax to fund yourself if that.

£27k isn’t a horrific salary IF you’re part of a 2 person household and the other person is also bringing in £27k, but as the only income for a household it will be tight.

I also don’t really understand your comments about child benefit. Those on higher incomes than you are also paying far more tax than you, so you could say they are paying for your GP, dentist, local police service, the roads you drive on…

Well just imagine it's going to people poorer than you....

lol, brilliant comeback

you know that other people paid taxes for you when you were a dc, not a great investment...

Honestly you really should improve your people skills if you want to get a better job...

wow, is your life really that pathetic?

Reported you OP.

But it's your taxes which pay for the NHS... sometimes to treat those wealthier than you...

People are trying to help you op. No need to be rude as well as miserable.

Something you coukd do is get a cleaning job on a Saturday or Sunday, privately in a house. £20 an hour that's £80 a week extra.

People are desperate for good cleaners.
