Is there any hope for us having to try and survive in this pittence.
We are forced to accept these conditions after being made redundant at 58. With retirement ages going up there are going to be more and more people like me forced to work 12 hour shifts just to try and survive.
Retirement should be a time to enjoy life not a chore to survive.
I am looking forward to mine but also dreading it.
What else can our governments throw at us hard working individuals.
We keep hearing about how much the price of food has gone down - where is this happening??? Not near me I can assure you. Also, if you are lucky enough to go out for a meal in a restaurant or pub the prices are going up and up. I am not going any more, it is daylight robbery!
Personally I think Ed Milliband deserves at shot at governing the country - he can't do any worse than Cameron - and if Farage gets in I will emigrate! That is - if I can afford to 🙂 ha ha.
It might not be great on a zero hours contract, but its work and a hell of a lot better than no work.
We had a very narrow escape.
You may be if you are one of the rich pensioners,then it's I am ok pull the ladder up .There are more people using food banks and having to have help because of the zero hour contracts,but you never here the media talk about this .
