I think you lot sometimes don’t live in the real world don’t forget unless they’re self employed lay will be paying 33% of their wages straight to the government So that £50k job is Only taking home £650 a week don’t get me wrong that’s a dam good wage but most people aren’t on now ware near that. And most places that pay that sort of money have rent / mortgage that would wipe half that straight out people these days have been encouraged to have everything on tik so not as much spare money as you might think no matter what lay try to patray to the wold
