Cheeky £13m for the City of Culture

>honestly think that Lifetime ISA thing is brilliant
it's not gonna give you 25% of all your savings mate, only on the amount of "new" money you put in each year, so you'll only be able to get max £1000 if you can afford to put £4000 in every year, which you can guarantee most young people wont be able to afford
>>67649949
Me too.
Every study points the key difference between the poor and wealthy is how much they save.
Lefties will moan how they cannot afford to save because housing is too expensive but you will never change your wealth-class without making sacrifices
BEST OF LUCK DAD!
>>67650117
We're fucked. Send help.
>>67650099
thats fine with me. Ive got 20 years from next year to put as much as I can in with a 25% return as long as I dont touch it. Sounds brilliant
Osbourne killed it today if you ask me lads.

It's basically £333 a month. Easily doable.

>>67650111
>Lefties will moan how they cannot afford to save because housing is too expensive but you will never change your wealth-class without making sacrifices
although i agree that young people ain't saving money anymore it's also stupid that if you are earning an average wage it can take you the best part of a decade to save up enough to get a house in or around a city, with a large mortgage, and only then if you are saving 50% of your pay check. we are reaching a point where people will only be able to afford houses after their parents die and leave them houses they can sell
>>67650099
Even if you only put in £100 you still make £25 free out of it.
How in the name of fuck can this be a bad idea? It's free money.
>>67650293
>£333 p/m
That's not doable for most people.
Osborne fucked up that budget lads.
Who the fuck hurts cripples and bails out big oil in the same speech?

>>67650099
I'm on 18k a year in London with 600 quid in rent. Even I can put away 400 a month
>>67650099
I've already put 850 quid into an ISA this year and I'm aiming for ~3500 by the years end. If the government give me 25% of that I'll be chuffed. Lifetime ISA is a good thing for sensible mid-20s who have decided to stop spunkinf their money away
>New rail lines including Crossrail 2
Thus ends leafy Hertfordshire.
to be replaced with housing estates and africans.
>>67650293
>It's basically £333 a month. Easily doable.
if you are renting a place that can mean you are spending £700+ a month, most people can't afford to do that
What was the name of that chain of academies that turned a bunch of failing South London schools into a place where people actually passed and got decent scores?
>>67649806
>Sugar tax on soft drinks to be introduced
I already pay 20% tax on my soft drinks, it's called VAT.
I'm going to have to steal my Dr Peppers.
>>67650590
>renting alone
Get a friend or a gf. Renting alone in this day and age is fucking dumb
>>67650444
> That's not doable for most people.
Bullshit.
It's about the same price as a 20 a day smoking habit.
>>67650590
50/30/20 budget will mean you should be putting away 300 if you earn 1500 a month. If you're living above your means then move to a cheaper place.
>>67650631
They're taxing the industry because of the high sugar content, not the consumer. If the price you pay goes, complain to Dr Pepper.
>>67650772

>>67650774

Depends where you live. I earn 24k, live in a flat alone 10m from Manchester city center which costs 550pcm. And I'll still easily put away between 3-4k this year through sensible budgeting

BAHAHAHAHAHA do you even know how fucking expensive trains are to get into london with the work commute that shit will cost you £20-£30 per day to get in and out, unless you want to leave for work at 6am and arrive back at 10pm
>and lets not even talk about the god awful reliability
>>67651145
yes
>>67650955
Fair enough, in your situation it makes sense since it's quite cheap and you're earning a fair amount.
My rents only 500 a month for a terraced house and I share with my gf so it's only 250
I earn 22k and she's on 26k.
But if I was in London fuck it I'd be sharing with every fucker I could see. Fuck London rent

theyre not taxing the people who drink sugary drinks, but the companies to attempt them to make drinks with low sugar. If Coke or Pepsi charge more, its their decision not the governments.
>>67651467
This is what londonfags actually believe. Enjoy your lifetime of no savings mate, meanwhile I'll enjoy that free 1k per year the government is giving me.

then you have to save less or move further out and spend more on travel or buy a house.
>>67651701
Let's be real here, it's good but it's 25% on what you add to it each year, not the whole ISA.
>>67651736
It's a 25% return on what I save. If that's scrounging then sign me the fuck up
Ironic how morons here are celebrating the "free" £1k a year because it benefits them, but if it were free money that went to someone else they would be complaining about socialism and being stolen from
Why are fair prices so expensive anyway? Commuting from outside of London into it costs something like £25 a day. That's ridiculous considering how shit and prone to delays the services are.

You're getting a "return" on other people's earnings
The government doesn't create wealth, it only takes it from revenue generators. Any "bonus" will be derived from other people's income. Essentially it's just another redistribution of wealth, and does nothing to solve the pension problem.
>>67653727
Explain how I'm wrong. Money doesn't miraculously fall out of the sky.
Brits have become so used to welfare that they don't even realize when they're on it.
Get an etrade account, or your equivalent in the UK, and invest your money on something that gets a return on a sum greater than £4000 yearly. Relying on the government to only get £30,000 on the back of another income earner is a waste. You could get better returns on the S&P index if current projections are correct.
>>67654324

Sounds like we won't be getting a pension lads, I'd also think it unwise to save £4000 a year which you cant touch until your 60. Makes more sense to invest in property

It's not free, it's a percentage return on what you save that you can only receive after you're 60 or when you're buying a house
>>67654659
you can use the isa to buy a house.
>your savings and the bonus can be used towards a deposit on a first home worth up to £450,000 across the country
>accounts are limited to one per person rather than one per home – so two first time buyers can both receive a bonus when buying together
>if you have a Help to Buy: ISA you can transfer those savings into the Lifetime ISA in 2017, or continue saving into both – but you will only be able to use the bonus from one to buy a house
>mad Johnny foreigners not even aware you have been able to take out ISAs and bonds with the government for years anyway
I went and watched pmqs and the budget live from the gallery today was quite interesting.
>>67654613
Then you misread my post.
I am a big supporter of free enterprise and minimal government involvement in investment.
In fact, I said in my post "you could be getting a bigger return by investing more of your money".
You are not getting "interest" you're getting a "bonus" i.e. Someone else's tax revenue.
>>67654659
Ive been thinking a similar thing to do and save up £100-150k and buy a second house, but theres too many problems in it
>survey fees around £800 when buying
>any maintenance and repairs costs of being landlord
>insurance
>When choosing to retire you have the option of renting out the property for £500-600/month (not enough for an retirement income imo); or sell with costs to any agency, legal fees, time the property is empty to sell it. And then pay the CGT
Im undecided on it, but saving 4k seems very easy to understand. Just the 'dont touch until youre 60' is the only issue
>>67654875
only your first house
>>67654598
Doesn't answer the question
Extra 25k, assuming it's only based on the 4k a year (1k free money)
Still an extra 25k in savings if you start at 25 is tasty as fuck

It's not a reduced cost m8, 22% of your tax every month goes to the NHS.

Did my poor attire give me away? Should have said hello.
>>67654964
I did deliberately misconstrue it, yes. The reality is most people are too lazy to bother to either save money, or save money correctly.
This isn't some new concept to get riled up about though, our government actually runs a savings bank. Backed up by the Treasury itself, it's the safest, easiest bet you could make.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Savings_and_Investments
>>67655632
Yes, we should get rid of the NHS because fat people have nothing to do with the government or you.
I don't care about fat people and I don't care about what people choose to eat or drink, it's called freedom.
No, I'm not fat. If I was fat why would I be asking for an end to socialised healthcare? Think about it for a nanosecond.
>>67655395
>Health insurance would be cheaper, plus, you can choose not to pay it at all.
Would be a nightmare. You just know any idiot lucky enough to avoid being in a hospital his/her whole life when given the option will think not to bother. Then when they/they're gf gets pregnant, they'll expect free service
They'll just blame the government aswell for it.

Not necessarily. The NHS is comparatively pretty cheap. Significantly cheaper than the US system which people hold up as the model for private healthcare.
>>67655854
>b-but people's feelings!
Is that really your argument?
Getting your gf pregnant has nothing to do with the government, holy shit.

Im sure you'll never have that problem, but regardless my point was giving idiotic people the choice of no free health would cause them to moan even more so than now. Its not a good option.

>there's nothing wrong with being energy self sufficient.
Indeed, but renewables are anything but that. Proponents bang on about how at some undefined date in the future they will be viable and we need to keep investing in them indefinitely until that happens, but the fact remains that we have been for years and years now and they are not any closer to being able to form the backbone of a national power grid...
Also many of these idiots are hard against nuclear which is as close to a magic bullet technology to solve all of their problems as it's possible to get.
>>67655954
Solar and wind farms are not enough to fulfil our power needs. Go Nuclear or go home and the Greens are totally against it.
>>67656358
It is when the NHS, which I support, gets crushed under your massive bulk fuckstick.

>>67656824
In that case you could just pay for that person's healthcare yourself, or join a charity that does that for people who honestly deserve it.
The system you pay into now only encourages people to be unhealthy, so your empathy argument falls flat.

Pfft, if anyone's being short-sighted it's you with your insurance company shilling.
I'm pretty ambivalent, and the NHS is a sacred cow and not going anywhere anyway, but you're going to end up paying taxes for someone's healthcare anyway.
No matter how much of an edgelord you might be, the government wouldn't just give up on those with no insurance, so we would be collectively paying, even if just for very basic level of care. Might as well pay a bit more and have the all-encompassing behemoth we have now.

The whole idea of taxes like this one is to negate that effect.

Bravo. I'm sure taxing food will work though.
>>67657862
While he might be way off base on the cost aspect, he is right about that.
It's not going to solve anything so long as there is this massive safety net to protect people from their stupid decisions. If we tax/ban everything unhealthy then pretty soon we're a no-fun-allowed even-more-nanny totalitarian state because big neigh soviet government programmes like that do not mix with freedom because people doing what they want without consequence means either you're paying for it or you need to restrict their freedom, or you go halfway with a punishment tax and it just drives these people into the hands of organised crime.

dunno if I can be arsed saving any more than that
