Scootray Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 So, how will it affect everyone next year?According to the BBC, I'm going to be out of pocket by around 7. Not much, but I'm not exactly Mr. Moneybags and Alistair Darling is a knob.BBC NEWS | Business | Budget calculator 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanette Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Apparently I'm going to be 19.43 better off. But apparently on my fuel it'll be almost 100 extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Jazz Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Any extra cash you guys think you have will be more than wiped out by a combination of inflation and higher prices. Increased food prices alone will amount to extra 100s a year being spent for most people.Sorry, but you're almost guaranteed to be more skint.

Le Stu Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 At my current rate of income, and having completely cut out the drink and cigs, I would save 248!!!!Pity I'm about to be laid off, so I ran that instead. Big fat 0...And the deficits are insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross90 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think the car scrapping thing buggers me up! My car is 6 months shy of being 10 years old during the 2000 scrapping bonus. So does that make it worth less now?I.e if I had an H reg fiesta that was worth five quid, it would now be worth 1000 to the garage and 1000 to the government so long as I bought a new car.But I've got a golf which is said to be worth 1300. But would a garage offer that now knowing that they have to cover cars like the fiesta example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Jazz Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I thought we were heading towards deflation, not inflation.We might be heading in that direction longer term, but we're not there yet. I guess it all depends on how you measure inflation.....there was a report recently saying that the Retail Price Index went negative for the first time since the 60s earlier this month, but the Consumer Price Index (which is the more representative measure as I understand it) is just under 3%.Not exactly sky high, but still several times higher than interest rates.

If everyone is scrapping their 10 yr old cars then there will eventually be less on the market, so that may support the resale price. I don't think a majority of sane people want to go further into debt at this point and may just want a good runner to get around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA the brando Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Was really hoping for a lot more tax on booze, might have stopped the chavs and students making the pubs look untidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hobo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't drink much 2 pints a week(cheap date) , don't smoke but i'd be 788 worse off, pity i only pay about 5% tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well it looks like I'll be paying more for booze and fags. I'm still not going back to smoking roll-ups though. They're fucking vile. And as for booze, not even the enticement of cheap beer will get me to waste a night out by visiting Archibald Simpsons. So fuck you Darling, your attempt to turn me into a shell-suit wearing chav has failed...... at least until fags become 7 a packet and pints 3!

Panda Strong Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Was really hoping for a lot more tax on booze, might have stopped the chavs and students making the pubs look untidy.a tax increase on booze wouldn't go very far in stopping it. 9 times out of 10 throwing money at the problem doesn't work.
