My thoughts are that they'll change the level of savings taken into consideration when calculating in-work benefits. |

Someone's going to ask if benefits are already too high if it's thought people can afford to save out of them. It will just create another big cost in staffing in dealing with operating it. |

Guinevere, I have just about resigned myself to the impending doom, the Tories doing their worst indefinitely, and Trump as US president. :-0 |

It's perhaps a pity that those under 25 are excluded, because that would perhaps be an incentive not only to get into the habit of saving, but they will also need to have more savings in the pot as they will be working much longer before receiving a state pension ( assuming there is one by then!). |

Would that have been part of the new initiative? You save up to £50 pm and we'll add to it. |

The Govt says ( for people on benefits/low income) 'if you have £1000 pounds in the bank you are less likely to get into debt'....duh, would never have thought of that :-0 |
