Yes, cash savings - I thought it sounded a lot, but then I think they said it's probably only an average around 4000 per working person. I know that we've saved quite a bit between the 2 of us in the last 9 months than we ordinarily would, so it sounds plausible, 

a lot jobs ive done in past 4 months 

80% of them have offered me CASH 

i just said bank Transfer will do 

nout to spend the bastard cash on

Aint worked it out, but I reckon we've saved loads.

Fuck all to spend it on really. No football, no half term away, no xmas away, no meals out. Barely spending any money on petrol.

Getting shut of my car next week, pointless having 2 cars sat on the drive at the moment.

Some bloke on the radio earlier reckons that over the lockdown period, there has been an extra £150B put into people's savings - which seems an incredible number. I know some are worse off, and some will be better off, but I wonder as an average if families will now have more or less in savings than they did pre-COVID

We've pretty much spent all ours now.

Which is why Bolton is the most infected borough in the whole county of Greater Manchester

My income is down over the last 12 months including grants from the government. Our outgoings though are down considerably more. No holidays, meals, pub, football, fuel, clothing, haircuts etc.

We therefore have more in savings than we had last year. I’d rather it was the other way round though.

Vaccinations | Coronavirus in the UK (data.gov.uk)

Nearly 13.6M folk vaccinated (1st & 2nd jab).

Have we hit the target early? Sure the target was offered to 13.5%m by Feb 15th?

Well done to the NHS & UK governments if so......

👍

It's not savings as such, but at work we had a new starter who worked for an airline and had been placed on long-term furlough. After he started working with us, he was getting 80% of his wage from his job at the airline and 100% of his wage for his full-time job with us.

Yes. But he will have been hammered for tax on the job with you depending on what he earned at the airline of course. 
 

If he hasn’t it’s by error and he’s got a fucker of a tax bill waiting for him when they get to him. 

Is furlough actually still a thing

As in not having to do some work to qualify 

 

If so, i reckon its in danger of being a negative

Folk would be better getting actively looking now
