Six Pounds And Eighteen Pence

That’s how much better off I am per month than I was previously. Or, as I see it, three pints.

Thank you, Gordon Brown.

    Except in Central London, where it’s barely 2 pints.

    Woo, 2p better off a year according to the calculator thing on thisismoney.co.uk. I shall save up a few years and buy a drumstick lolly.

    Good for you. I’m £3.60 a month worse off. Care to buy me a pint?

    Isn’t it thank you Alistair Darling? Of course you probably pay more tax on those pints now :P

    If I had a job, based on my last jobs salary I’d be £5.83 a month worse off…. YAY

    Well…… in terms of ‘take home pay’ I’m nearly seven pounds better off a month – whoo hooo!

    Unfortunately my Council Tax, Water Rates, Electricity, Gas, TV licence, Insurances, Mortgage and other living costs have all gone up by considerably more than this, so overall I’m nearly two hundred pounds a month worse off than I was last year, despite getting a pay rise too….. broke and getting broker…. marvellous. Thanks a lot.
