El Cid Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes! Why bother working? Let's all pack our jobs in and live off some other mugs tax payments! My wife receives around 75% of the basic state pension due to her not working when the children were born. The reason it seems like its not worth working, is down to equality, and stay at home mums.

lipschitz Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Why work? So that I can drive the car I want, go on the foreign holidays I want and afford the things I want to buy. I don't want much in this life, I don't buy lots of the latest tech gadgets or swap furniture/decorations because I want a colour change. I like the simple things in life. I have a decent car not a new one every three years. I do like a foreign holiday a couple of times a year. Other than that I get my enjoyment in life from living an active life, outdoors a lot. If people want to live their life on benefits and get the same pension as me, I really don't care. My life has been lived how I wanted it to be and that is all that matters to me. That's why I work.
