Is that afairercsaforall?
aye.
strange how a site that's run by a pwc ia apparently anti pwc, and even stranger, i've never seen anyone flamed over there. especially a pwc.
me thinks some people are a wee bit blinkered........

me neither!! hijack over. promise!

i just wonder why anyone would think that a site run by pwc would be anti pwc?
like i said, not once have i seen a pwc flamed. there's just as much help for both sides.
difference being, there are no militant feminists over there so the advice is a lot more honest and factual than some of the sh1te you read here.
and no slanging matches!

I haven't read the whole thread, but it seems to me that twenty-five pr cent of ones earnings is a fair price to pay for three children. I wish it was as little as that for me and I only have the two.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0

Before I close you out, it did not say she had taken her life but taken her to the point of! As I say read what is there not what you think is there. If you read what you think is there you should work for the CSA if you don't already as they read things in that are not there!
Good by!
I have to agree with Blob, I read it as to the point of as well (and not that she actually had-maybe it would not have been such a grey area if it had said to the brink of).GE 36 *MFD may 2043

The reason why it doesn't "work" for many is this example:
Income: 1400
Outgoings:
Rent: 500 - this is about minimum for a house/flat where NRP could have his children stay
Bills (C tax, elec, gas, water, insurances, phone, etc) - 300
Food - 200
Car/Transport costs to get to work - 150
child money (2): 280
Total so far : 1430
So would someone like to point out how this person is being excessive? They are £30 down a month without having a life, or any extraneous expenses! Plenty of people in this kind of position.
Don't get me wrong I am not sure how to resolve the situation, as you should pay for your kids, but just saying rather blithely that 25% is not a lot ignores the fact that the person has to live somewhere (with suitable space if they want to have kids over to stay), and eat, travel to work etc.
Not my scenario btw. This coming from an NRP who was paying 23% for his first child with 8 overnight stays a month. Also paying for the mortgage on the ex marital home, bills, whilst not living there for 7 months. Then ex wanting money from the house sale.0
