Most people who profess to being skint or "struggling" are nothing of the sort. They simply fail to prioritise their spending, as one or two posts on here illustrate. A further illustration of that was made on here a few days ago when one of our regular contributors posted in the thread which mentioned people having to cancel their broadband because of rising costs:
"Unfortunately (in a large part due to more than a decade of Tory government incompetence and corruption) many people are having to resort to the use of food banks to get by, now many cannot even afford a home internet connection..."
So they overcame the (alleged) lack of money to buy food by getting other people to provided it provided free of charge, when in fact, they could have cancelled (or downgraded) their broadband subscription.
Everywhere you go where "families" are catered for is packed out. All the entertainment venues, restaurant and fast food outlets are doing a roaring trade. People can pay to get somebody else to cook their food for them and to make them a cup of coffee. These are things that people who are really struggling wouldn't dream of. For the cost of one cup of Costa coffee you can buy a jar of coffee and enough milk to make dozens of cups. And no, energy is not so expensive that it is prohibitive to boil a kettle. Sorry, but that's the long and the short of it.
