This is our sixth "austerity budget", and though I personally am very lucky in that I have no kids/don't drink/smoke/have a car/job/own my house, and so will be very minimally affected, I'd hate to be someone with a family and a mortgage in these already incredibly hard times! Quite savage all round really.

Unlike me who drinks, smokes and owns a car. The car tax is a big one but luckily my insurance at the moment isn't too bad. To be honest I don't think I'll plan on owning a house for a long time, rent seems to be the way to go for me.
