holidays and benefits
Comments

I know that – I never had holidays when I was growing up because, despite her excellent budgeting, my mother simply didn't have the money to take five kids away.It's all very well saying that she should be able to afford a holiday as she is earning but the simple fact is that a lot of people on low incomes cannot afford one after all their outgoings (and that's even if you do budget well)
Contrary to popular opinion a holiday ISN'T a necessity (or for that matter a God-given right). Unfortunately Jacqui99 and her ilk get no sympathy from me because it's pretty churlish to (a) whinge about others being able to afford holidays and (b) to suggest that they can only afford them because they're on benefits.If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.0 -
