@AndyBillyions @scruffyjay @OrevaZSN Why shouldn’t a 14 year old make the same wage as an adult?

@scruffyjay @OrevaZSN So you're saying a 14 year old should make the same wage as an adult? 🤔

The minimum wage is meant to be the lowest wage you can live on and afford housing. So, for everyone saying "it's not meant to be that," yes, it is. That's why it's called the minimum wage.

@BlvckJxsus @_Unknown_D_ It’s weird to ask your friends a simple question?

@_Unknown_D_ yes, i think that’s very weird to do to yo friends. but, do whatever you like in your friendships.

When you go to the bank for a loan, they ask what you want the money for, but with your friend it has to be no questions asked for it not to be weird? people that borrow money are some of the most entitled people ever.

@DannyBacon1974 @rawespresso He’s talking about high earns who have to adjust their income and put the excess in things like pensions because otherwise it all goes to tax. Every single bonus if anything takes you above 100k goes straight into pot not to be seen until retirement

@rawespresso Utter bollocks, I get rewarded like lots of people who work hard and receive bonus’s a commission etc. know your worth and earn accordingly. It’s not my fault you can’t command that firms salary. You had exactly the same opportunity as me growing up. Quit fucking moaning

The UK is the only country where ambition is penalised. You work harder, more and more hours a week only to be able to afford less. They promised you a system that was designed to help working people. Well, does it?

@HuygensWill @serene_euphoria @ColeFusionHQ

@serene_euphoria @ColeFusionHQ I don’t know what your age is, or your experience of life back then, but £100-£150/week wasn’t unheard of in sought-after spots, especially post-deregulation when private renting started recovering.

A 21 yr old on £28k looking at £1.7k rent isn't doing anything wrong. The numbers just don't work anymore. Most people in this situation I know either house-share, live at home longer, get help from family or end up with some level of support. When did income stop covering it.

@100kDiary £24k at 29 is crazy

He’s 29. Earns £24k. Every month: • Runs out of money by the 18th • Takes a payday loan for £400 • Pays back £520 on payday • Starts the month £520 down before a bill is paid • Repeat He’s been doing this for 3 years. That’s roughly £4,300 in fees he’s paid. To borrow his own money early. £4,300 could have been an emergency fund that stopped him needing the loan in the first place. What would you tell him? 👇

Inga is expected to read past Jazz saying she doesn’t like her but then meant to know she “obviously does” but Jazz is not expected to hear Inga EXPLICITLY telling her it’s not romantic? ?????? #madeinchelsea

I believe Inga idk why everyone’s switching up and didn’t Jazz do the same to Jack being his bestie knowing he fancied her and didn’t even want men anymore (later revealed) #madeinchelsea

@jammierooroo @ABmrJutt A 19 year old girl at my workplace was groped on site and although the guy got dismissed she was still traumatised and now works for the council instead. Sometimes it’s a bit more than misogynistic banter

I’m well placed to respond to this as I was one of the first women in my role in a massively male dominated industry. Have I experienced misogyny? Yes. Have I experienced sexism? Yes. Have I experienced sexual harassment? Yes. Did that hold me back? No! Have I spent my entire career wearing clothes cut for men? Hi vis cut for men? Lack of ladies toilets? Teams calls and conferences where women are outnumbered 20-1? All yes! Did I still achieve what I wanted in my career? Absofuckinglutely! Am I massively respected now for the effort it took? 100% Yes! Would I advise other women to do the same? In a heartbeat! Is my team the first in my industry where women outnumber men in senior leadership? Yes! Is that because I’m a woman? No, it’s because I interview for attitude not aptitude, and I don’t have preconceived notions about how women will perform in operational environments, as I have proven myself over 3 decades. Don’t let a bit of misogyny hold you back girls, you’ll live to regret it!

Women don't enter trades like men do because the working conditions almost guarantee a lifetime of sexual harassment and sexism, not because they're too weak to learn carpentry.

@halftroll @KeruboSk This gets complicated if he loses his job and can’t find one of the same salary and if she doubles salary. Mortgages are 20+ years a lot can change but both names do need to be on the agreement

@KeruboSk Get a legal agreement for a 30/70 split, but split payments as well as down payment 30/70. The agreement should say equity is also 30/70. Separate checking accounts. But, really, this is a red neon sign.

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon Having your arms or legs blown up will have an affect on one’s ability to do just about anything mate. Bonus points if you lose your vision too

@PChloexo @storey966 @CallumLyon Is rhere another form of visible disfigurement that jeopardises one's employment?

Being single isn't the issue, the cost of existing alone is. One income, full rent, full bills, full responsibility, no backup. Then you get told to "budget better" by people who've never had to carry 100% of the load on their own. The system didn't break, it just stopped accounting for anyone doing it solo.

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon Thank you for proving my statement. Where do you see facial anywhere?

@PChloexo @storey966 @CallumLyon 'I don’t know if you’ve seen the video circulating recently but a man literally got ran over by a random person and now disfigured for the rest of his life.'.........

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon Go back and re-read. It was about general disfigurement and you halfway through started saying facial. Nobody but you was talking about specific facial disfigurement but I take the no answer as you haven’t contingency planned for everything and not completely bullet proof are ya

@PChloexo @storey966 @CallumLyon This discussion is (was?) about a specific example of facial disfigurement and its effect upon employment? since you asked - I'd rely upon my wife and family -all of whom know I'd be off to Switzerland..........

@100kDiary My partner covered the 4 months between my maternity pay stopping and then my first pay check back to work. It wasn’t much because he covers all the mortgage and bills anyway.

Not a hot take. Just a genuine question. If you're currently out of work, how are you getting by? What's covering the bills? Savings? Family? UC? Side work? I talk a lot about investing and building wealth but I know not everyone is in a position to do that right now. Would like to hear your reality.

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon You’re not getting it because you’re being deliberately dense. Answer the question. Should you get into an accident at the hands of any old Joe that rendered you brain dead, how would you support yourself without help?

@PChloexo @storey966 @CallumLyon An eventuality? Well, I guess you’re proof of that! Still not getting the point you’re not making….

@pankbluepink @cheapmansvest @NOTBENTEKESZN @charliejblake_ I thought Sutton was Surrey😆

@cheapmansvest @NOTBENTEKESZN @charliejblake_ Also Sutton is Zone 5. This is about Zones 1-4.

I’m sorry but £70k in zone 1-4 with free travel is indeed entirely a liveable salary. Just a point of order entirely unrelated to my actual views on the strike

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon Brain dead is an eventuality. You’re claiming you’re financially bullet proof so go on and tell me what contingency you have for that one the video circulating I mentioned earlier had 3 casualties, one brain dead, one severely disfigured and one who should almost fully recover

@PChloexo @storey966 @CallumLyon Disfigured? Pretty much any job? Where was brain dead mentioned ?

@lmartods They are assuming that every partner is willing to take on the financial responsibility for his girlfriend’s kids. Which is an interesting assumption given the number of men who do everything they can to avoid paying for their own biological kids.

@RealismHelps @storey966 @CallumLyon Nobody’s dumb enough surely to think that they could never experience a life changing accident that renders them unable to work. What jobs could you do disfigured and brain dead? The point is you can’t contingency for every possible eventuality.

@storey966 @PChloexo @CallumLyon If there's fault -yes. Twat is assuming every facial injury is life-changing or indeed that it limits one's employment............no-one is that dumb surely.....

@Bobbadbig @dickietunnel @camodeo89 @TheGriftReport Automated and driverless are not synonymous and still operate on entirely different infrastructure and signalling systems which would cost billions to update. Not actually as “close” as you perceive it to be in terms of infrastructure

@PChloexo @dickietunnel @camodeo89 @TheGriftReport Victoria, Jubilee, Central, Circle, District, Metropolitan and H&C are basically automatic now. All the "driver" does is press a button to open the doors, press 2 buttons to close them, press another so the train drives itself to the next stop.

Campaigners demand £72,000-a-year Tube driver jobs are advertised on the open market. TfL currently only offers the high-paying roles internally to existing staff first under a long-standing agreement with the RMT union. The jobs require just GCSEs in maths and English yet pay a base of £71,170, rising to over £80,000 with overtime, plus a gold-plated pension and free travel. The TaxPayers’ Alliance has slammed the “union stranglehold” and called it an insult to Londoners that creates a closed shop for union insiders. They say blocking external recruitment kills competition and artificially inflates wages at taxpayers’ expense. This comes as the RMT continues striking, costing the economy up to £250 million.

@storey966 @RealismHelps @CallumLyon It wouldn’t. A hefty payout case only works if it were a business at fault. Good luck to him getting sufficient money from Primark sales Assistant Brenda who was ordered to pay back £75 a month to you lmao😆

@RealismHelps @PChloexo @CallumLyon Would it? Someone seems to think them stating things makes it true. Imagine being so callous you would just dismiss a life-changing injury as being of so little consequence. I wonder what would happen to make someone such a twat.
