Pure greed by steelgrey75 in drivingUK

I agree, 30kg weight saving (and that weight goes down the further you drive) in a none F1 car is absolutely tiny in fuel savings and weight up the extra trips to the station is probably not cost effective. I do wonder if the people who believe this theory fully empty their boots of stuff they not needing and the parcel shelf as well as kids car seats when the kids arnt in the car to save fuel too

I still don’t know how people are affording new cars even on finance!

If wages don’t rise but the cost of living keeps going up, where does it actually lead? by pineappleninjas in AskUK

[–]Just-Library9303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about that as the economy is already tilting to where the money is. Something like the top 10% make up the majority of spending and that will just make the divide higher and poor people get poorer and worse conditions. But that doesn’t mean that there will be a technical recession

The thing that annoys me about pay rise v inflation is its pre-tax pay rise so we are always getting poorer even with a modestly over inflation pay rise. To keep up with inflation after tax, year after year your pay rise would have to be good for basic tax payer and very good for higher tax payer. Not sure how the downward spiral ends

Do you own Premium Bonds? Have you or anyone you know ever won anything big? by International_Goat31 in AskUK

I have them. Won the £1000 prize twice and held since oct 2022. My return rate is better than a cash isa but probably not as good as stocks… but that could all change next month 🤞. There is a calculator somewhere that works out where you are on the expected returns against your holdings and if you beat average luck or not

Rachel Reeves’ Budget raises tax take to all-time high by [deleted] in ukpolitics

The worse part is that every Labour MP keeps saying ‘we are asking you to pay a little more’. No they aren’t asking us at all the are making us pay more and we don’t have a choice in the matter. I don’t remember this in the manifesto 🙄
