Not spending £45k a year on private school fees would be a start

It's the torygraph so I expect them to cover this kind of crap. I'm on half that and the last place I went "out" to eat was at Nandos.

“I recently heard a parent say, 'You can tell the middle-class parents, because they will go to almost any lengths to send their child to an independent school’,” says Janette Wallis of The Good Schools Guide. “There is a spirit that even where they can’t afford school fees, they will use what resources they have to move house to be in the catchment area of a good state school or pay for tutoring for the 11-plus.”

:lol:

It's a tax on rich people so that everybody else don't have to go to class with kids called Binky

My heart [LIFTED] bleeds

  1. Stop being snobbish
  2. Move out of Farnham to somewhere cheaper
  3. Get a smaller house
  4. Send Tom and Harry to a state school
  5. Stop spending money on things like oak worktops, wood-fired stoves and expensive melamine cupboards
  6. Learn to budget - you're paid £120k a year for pity's sake
  7. Eat the dog
Tossers

Give them under 30K and then they can start complaining!

Yeah, struggling to feel sympathy for anyone claiming they can't make ends meet with a budget four times the size of mine.
