  1. Always check your tax allowance. Working OT for more than a few hours can put you in the next bracket up and take 50%+ of what you earned away. And don’t forget the increased NI you’ll have to pay on top. Ironically, swings and roundabouts being a thing, if you strike for even one day, your wages will likely drop down a tax bracket!

  2. Don’t believe the statistics. The kids do want to work but every job has to have an equalities questionnaire attached… Eldest son ditched an application recently. Among a slew of intrusive personal questions, it demanded parents’ highest qualification, job title and income p.a. and if renting, buying or owning. Apparently, applicants of low social status get priority under the Equalities Act 2010…

  3. I’ve two unemployed GenZ sons who don’t claim benefits. As hard as I squint, I can’t see their entitlement. Instead, I keep working to support them while they try to get even an interview. We’re working class. Yes, it’s that old misplaced pride: we might be struggling to put food on the table, but we have a table and keep it clean.
