Myself and my partner earn €390pw each. We have 1 child Thats €3120 between is pm. We pay €1200pm mortgage. €800pm Childcare. €300pm Credit Union. That leaves is with €820pm between us. Then there is the gas, esb, petrol. We are left with pittins. We even qualified for a medical card due to our low incomes. Its depressing being broke all the time.
A person i know on the other hand lives at home with her parents. She gets the opfp which is €90pw and she works full time earning €420pw. That brings her to €510pw Her childcare costs are €30 pw in the local Government run Crech. Needless to say she can afford a great lifestyle. newish car, holidays, nice clothes, while i struggle to pay for food, nappies ect,
My question is, is it right that i have to pay tax that goes to people who are more well of than me?
