Child Benefit is Increasing

[Overthebow]

By 45p a week. What will you be spending your extra 45p on?

Deffo saving up for a gram of coke. In 7 years I'll be having a right good night.

I guess that's £1.50 a month for 2 kids. Why even bother

Freddos are winning!

Might I also suggest putting it onto ones electricity meter?

Or investing in the stock market?

That will buy me one third if a diet coke can. Lucky me I'll be super hydrated!!!!

Baffles me how they come up with these amounts...

Hmmm put it towards my takeaway coffee and avocado on toast maybe

Sky TV to go on my new 70" flat screen and a pack of fags x

What a sad misogynistic insult

Why even bother!

Ahh, you’re just showing off now, bragging about your wealth… 😀
seriously, £14??
Dear God…☹️

I'll start saving it towards the holiday of a lifetime with DC: Disney Land Florida!
I'm sure my DC will be able to take their DC ... or grand DC eventually.

Some dressing for my massive salad!

I'm gonna spend mine on a gigolo 😜

Absolutely disgusting that it should be no more than 20p 😡😡😡

I was going to get one of those dark chocolate ostrich Easter eggs from hotel chocolate for MIL, but this raise fell a little too short for that.

Do they still sell that white lightning piss cider in a bottle? Seems like a good year to start drinking again.

Speaking of Freddos, saw this in a museum with the dc last week. 10p Freddos are now so far in the past they belong in a fucking museum.

I'm going to use my 45p to buy the world's smallest joint. I'll smoke it and then reminisce about the times when you could purchase 10 fag's and a bottle of wine for £10.

2 small bananas ( lidl)..

At least it’s going up, a couple of years ago it didn’t.
Other European countries don’t increase their rates every year just look at Ireland.

Saving up for a couple of weeks then rocking up at Home Bargains to get myself at bottle of Reef. Party like it's 1996

Nothing, we contribute more than our fair share to everyone else's Child Benefit but earn over the threshold so don't get it for our own kids.

Oh wow a 1.01% rise when inflation is 3%. How generous of the government!

I'll be putting my devalued child benefit into paying for childcare in this lovely country, the 3rd most expensive place for childcare in the world.

Lip filler. Been struggling to afford that last 1/83748295th of my bottom lip....

labia rejuvenation.

I'll spend it on my child. That's what child benefit is for. A drop in the ocean, but a drop nonetheless. Child benefit was / is meant to improve the lives of children not mothers.

are you upset that the increase is low?
