Has the budget helped you?I wonder how many people like myself that aren't helped ,I am 55 ,have been divorced for 2 years and hold down a part time job ,I earn the basic wage and bring home £409 per month ,I live in a council flat so percentage of my rent and council tax are paid, I get a letter from inland revenue each year to tell me I haven't paid enough of something to get full pension when I retire but if I'd like to send some sum in the region of £2-£300 I would then qualify for full pension. I DON'T have enough money to get through the month and have to run a little basic car as my arthritis makes it difficult to walk too far particularly to work but it's not bad enough to be able to be stop working ,I live hand to mouth and many times go without meals so HOW am I supposed to find the required amount to be assured of enough to live on when I DO retire ? I tried getting out of this situation and managed to get another part time job earning another £60 a week but after 4 weeks had to give it up as it put me in a different pay bracket and the council took all the extra I had earned and a bit more besides ! I have a friend who is an accountant and he said that there IS this trap that makes it impossible to get out of !!ViewDate:
