‘We earn £190K a year. Should we sell a child so we can buy another flat?’

Snigger.

Just don't 'poor' your heart out in the Torygraph!

Put it on CUK! We are always sympathetic.

If your taxation all of sudden goes up by 30% then I think at the very least one gets the right to whine about it...

As ridiculous as some IT contractors on 700 pd complaining about dividend tax and IR35 .

Thing is - many good folk on here are making the sweet dollars - but it's one thing to make the dollars, another thing entirely to claim poverty. Such a couple of muppets. Is this the result of living in the London bubble?

Indeed. I think there are many who live in a CUK bubble.

That's what I thought and came up with 3 x possibilities,

1. They want to be able to boast about the combined take home.
2. They are actually pretty dumb and a bit out of touch.
3. They didn't approve the article before it was published or signed away their rights approve it and didn't realise it would be so bad.

I noticed they edited the article since yesterday and changed the pic to cut out the kids which they should of done in the first place.

Ah yes, the edits are interesting, wouldn't have been done for no reason...

The thing I can't get my head round is why would you ever put yourself out there like that in the first place? Even if you are only just a high rate tax payer, there will be a good amount of folk to line up and tell you how it is in the real world!
