Payraise.. how much do you expect? how much did you get?

Being a scrounger isn't really much to be proud of. I am hoping that this isn't the case with you and you're just going through a tough patch and will get back on your feet soon with some luck.

Telling everyone how much tax you’ve had to pay in a month just to show off and make yourself feel smug isn’t much to be proud of either.
 
Don't know what you're buying but ours certainly hasn't doubled. Sure it's gone up but generally we still spend anywhere between £50 to £100 a week for the two of us depending how much booze/ random household stuff we buy that particular week. That was the case even 5 years ago, though we don't drink as much :) I'd say our "basic" shop is about £15 more than 2 years ago.
Thank you for taking the time to write that so I don't have to respond to @arknor 's nonsense.
 
Got my bonus as expected this month, just checked my payslip - £13k in tax.... sigh, I wonder how many dole scum families I'm financing this month....
Aye but on the other hand you are a 53 year old male flexing about it on a compooter forum.
 
Actually, now that I think about it, as a government employee his taxes are also paying my salary. Such a shame I took so much of his bonus!

Which government department? I might not actually mind some departments having a bit more cash….
