Spare cash - £138 Per Week

So now we are told that the miserly £143 net spendable income has gone down by £5 compared to last year!

MP's and Economists expect the average family to manage to enjoy life on this miniscule amount for £138 after all the bills are paid! Could they? Do they even think about what this means?

Just how much does it cost for Mum Dad and 2 kids to buy cinema tickets? Say it was £20.00 - Then how much might be spent 'at the Kiosk' Another £10.00 and the petrol and parking, or bus fares take another say £8.00 which leaves £100.00 for the rest of the week

Mum and Dad deserve a night out, only to the pub, its all they can afford, 4 pints for him sees offs £10.00 and 4 drinks for Mum is the same again - but the baby sitter costs £10.00 if one is lucky so that leaves £70.00 for 6 days!

Get a life MP's and do something less greedy, please?
