How can it be right that you can get so much money on benefits?!?!

[TerrazzoChips]

How on earth can this be right? Link

it doesn’t include disability benefits but does include housing allowance and childcare costs. But a single earner will also have those?

I despair and could honestly cry. I am genuinely considering having another child and dropping my hours. I would be better off. I hate this so much.

Oh YAY, the bi-weekly benefit bashing thread has arrived. And it's a DAILY MAIL link.... 😆

Grabs popcorn! 🍿

.

🤣🤣🤣 daily mail it makes me laugh how a couple of months ago it was all about spreading misinformation about disabled people and pip and now that hasn't worked they are going after young families.

Why don't you then? Why doesn't everyone? Presumably because they know they wouldn't be better off at all.

You’re easily fooled.

Yeah they’ve had to do a lot of messing about to make this work,

in particular three lots of childcare at what looks like the max rate.

I thought it had been a while. Yep it's definitely true! Absolutely 100% FACTS

Benefits are equal to AT LEAST 71K a year. Everyone on benefits is lying, er, you can get a car if you say you're fed up and houses are totally free.
Have missed anything?

Don't believe everything you read to be gospel.

Stop reading tripe. 🙄😴

Do it then!

Stop whining and get thee onto benefits, easy.

🙄 Why dont you?

So bloody gullible....

How could a couple be earning £10k between them?
If they were on UC they'd have to be working 30 hours a week if the children are over 3, right?
They're not going to be getting £1000 a month in childcare costs if they're only working 1 day a week anyway.

Do it then.

Why just have one more child?

Life is so super easy on benefits you could have quite a few kids.

If you stick around MN long enough you'll see everyone on benefits has fancy cars, multiple long haul holidays, all the latest tech....

You, too, could be living the dream.

You've got to look at where this has come from , in this case The Daily Mail which is a horrible right wing rag . If the article provides a break down (which is unlikely) you should be able to see that this is nonsense .

Wow, people are fucking BORED between Xmas and New Year. May as well benefit bash, eh?

£10k wages between 2 adults won’t require full time childcare if any whatsoever.

Honestly, every second thread at the moment seems to have been started by bored people with limited imagination.

These articles are designed to encourage rage. There may be some circumstances where this is accurate but I always think long term. People in this position will never own a home, won’t have a pension and once their kids grow up will be significantly worse off.

I am a single parent, I have earn too much to even claim child benefit which two people earning 60K each can claim. Their 120K salaries are 35K higher than mine yet they are entitled to something I’m not. It does make me angry as it simply isn’t fair. However, I am working, will own my own home outright in a few years, I’ll have a pension of approx 45K a year. I do me and other people can do them, don’t let it make you weep, focus on what you can control and carry on.

This is the third time I've seen this today. Nice to see that no research seems to have been done

A fantasy couple working 30 hours a week each, somehow only earning £10k between them, renting in the most expensive area of the country with 3 year old triplets in nursery with fees of £1k+ per child.

Let's bring back the poorhouses and really make them suffer. Happy fking Christmas.

Despairing and crying. Leave your job and claim benefits. It is that easy. You just tell the Job Centre you are done, and you get £71k in benefits. So so easy.

Please do that and report back.

Anyone who believes what they read in the Daily Mail is too stupid to be entrusted with money.

Hmmm.

I see the weasel word "equivalent" being used a lot in that article...

In whatever unrealistic, convoluted situation is required for a couple to both work part-time and yet qualify to have three children in funded full-time nursery, you realise that said couple would not personally see a penny of the childcare fees?

So how would this mythical couple be as well off as someone who actually had that much paid into her own bank account? And yet the Daily Mail has bracketed the childcare fees as take home income!

After that, I stopped reading, because the rest of it has to be an equivalent level of bollocks and I have work in the morning.

Yeah, it doesn't work like that. There are very few people that are entitled to huge amounts of benefits and their money mostly goes to a landlord and a nursery/childminder. Although the bit that goes to the nursery/childminder is less than they actually charge per child.

Did you also believe the bs about the money spent on the NHS now we’re out of eu.
