Can working really harm your health? or is it just something people say?

I was paid monthly - salary


you get 1 payment for each year you had been with the employer (but you have to have been with them 2 years to quailify)

I was made redudant 4 years and 11 mths in so got 4 x - wasn't even a months pay

. £350 x 4 is only £1400. Even with the most frugal person, that would only last a maximum of 6 weeks.

you will be surprised just how many people think that if you get made redundant you get big pay offs!

I was one of those people. I assumed redundancy had a big pay off anywhere between 10-20k.

Anyway, once again going off subject. As my main job is only £11,278 contracted salary (this is definate not including overtime). Would a mortgage provider consider including income from any benefit(just an example) I receive. Would they include income from my agency work in the application process?

Because I just thought it was a massive payoff for both unfair dismissal and redunancy. What is a poxy £1,400 going to do when in that 4 years you could of earned £80k?

Statutory minimum is what a lot of people get in reality. Not everyone gets fat cheque payouts. THe minimum is not designed to pay people for the next 4 years..

OP does not seem to be working a lot of hours to me though...! Depends what industry you are in and often what level you are at, 35-40 hours a week is a short week for many, is the reality. I dont think I have ever had that luxury...!

(Bought my house at 18 too...on £4900 a year salary and 13% interest rate!)

Did 56 a couple of times. But like you say it depends on industary. Care work can be quite hard hours. But I love doing it .

I would love to of bought a house at 18 but I wasn't working til I was 1 month off 18 so didn't have time to save.

So why the relentless complaining and saying your husband 'needs a hammer round the head'. Honestly, on this thread you've done nothing but moan. Go back and read your posts, poor Brett has really tried to be civil, but you are making it an impossible task.

Lighten up, love.

When I became partially sighted my consultant said the stress of working MAY have contributed to my condition. But it may not.

I was self employed, working long days with no real breaks (quick coffee while working) & on my feet all day, often with a long commute to an unfamiliar place. Throw in childcare to juggle & I was stressed - I'd often arrive at work/childminders/friends with minute to spare but would often be late due to traffic.

My blood pressure has lowered nicely since I've not been working, & I get far less back pain. Now I have time for a sit down lunch I get far less shakey & my body seems happier. But I "feel" worse for not working - quite hopeless that I'll ever work again.

I'll never know if working contributed to my sight loss, but I'd love the chance to go back in time & see if working less could change things! I'd echo the "listen to your body" posts - you only get the one body & mind, so look after them.
