    It will hopefully change lives.  I have noticed that I don’t spend half as much as I used to on food etc, as I don’t walk to the shops 3 times a day to get crap I don’t really need.   I use all my veg and don’t throw anything away and I am eating far healthier.

    I had £100 threw on the side the other day as I was going to buy something from Facebook which fell through.  It’s still sitting there as I haven’t been to shops for anything or walked to a coffee shop for something to do.

    Furlough is good if you are PAYE, but spare a thought for those who are self-employed and don’t have a whole year of tax receipts.   They get nothing but Universal Credit, and we all know how long the government will take to process those, especially with the increased load on the system.

    If you are working for a small business and they are struggling but still paying your salary out of their own pockets while you are at home, please consider the morality of pumping the money he or she is paying you into online casino’s while they are trying to keep the business afloat.

     

    Spare a thought ?

    if you’re self employed you pay less tax(20%) so should be banging that extra away surely and have enough to live on ?

     

    A nice tax return each year helps aswell so I can’t spare that those thought….

    I’m not actually self employed myself, but I have a relative who has just become self employed a short time back, they are not raking it in and in fact earn less than the annual tax allowance, there is nothing extra to bang away.

    My point is that these people will not receive that 80% of salary that PAYE get, and in fact will not get anything for up to 3 months.   Not everyone self employed is earning thousands of pounds a month, some are living on the breadline.

    Worded that badly – those who have less than a years tax return will get nothing from the government apart from Universal Credit

    A PAYE employee furloughed on £14k a year can expect to get around £940 a month.

    A self employed person on £14K who has been self employed for less than a year can expect to get £240 a month,

    That’s where there is an iniquity in the system, although I understand the government has to have tax returns to make sure people don’t milk the system.  But this is why I say spare a thought for newly self employed people on low income
