PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I know you're judgemental based on the evidence in front of me: a judgemental post which instantly shows that you are being judgemental.

    However you defend it, you still have nowhere near the amount of information required to tell someone they have to get a job.

    Your own income could easily be higher, should I therefore suggest that you take out an evening and weekend job? It's none of our concern what their joint salary is, and money isn't everything. If they have enough they have enough.

    The point is that this post was about "Should my friend declare x income to HMRC" - it had nothing to do with his employment or relationship. Defending it as "I can say what I like" is just silly: they asked a question, you started judging their life for no apparent reason.

    No I answered the question and provided my opinion. If you don't like it, that's unfortunate. Perhaps you need to get used to the fact your your morals are not the morals of others.

    That your opinion, is not my opinion, and we are unlikely to agree.

    At which point i think we should draw this particular discourse to a close

    Good day sir/madam

    But I didn't ask for anyone's opinion on whether he should work or not.

    This I agree with, as there's now more posts about your throwaway "tongue in cheek" comment than the actual issue.
