- Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Budget 2024 means for you - including minimum wage rises, changes to benefits and more; full story on MoneySavingExpert.com: mse.me/YTAutumn...
Martin, thank you! We need more people like you in the world-working for the people and not against them. Please continue your good work, as the government has failed us all.
Who are the so-called idiots that voted for Labour? Imagine taking money from hardworking self-employed individuals and giving it to people who haven’t contributed and have claimed benefits their entire lives. How is that considered a substantial pension benefit?
Thanks, Martins, it’s clear that you care. But nobody is talking about nurses not receiving their COVID bonus. Everything the government is doing is wrong, and this is the main reason I never voted for Labour. I saw all this coming. It’s ridiculous that minimum wage keeps increasing every year while skilled job pay raises lag behind. Big corporations need to learn to be satisfied with slightly lower profits.
Honestly, it’s nothing but broken promises and lies. The taxes and pension plans have been a disaster. Labour is an even bigger disgrace. I’ve been considering getting a financial advisor; maybe now is the right time to do it.
@@HarlowReign-r7r What the hell are you on about? This is all about re-building the wretched state of our hospitals and schools after 14 years of Tories giving away the public purse to their mates. You know the last Tory government was the highest-taxing Tory government in history. At least Labour are suggesting that employers, after hardly paying for any pay rises since 2008, might want to pay a little more .
@@WhitneyRoss-dj4rf How have you been hit by this budget? Nothing bad in it unless you run a business paying minimum wages.
I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SS! will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with Stephanie Janis Stiefel my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.
I know this lady you just mentioned. Stephanie Janis Stiefel is a portfolio manager and investment advisor. She gained recognition as an employee of neuberger berman; a renowned investor she is. Stephanie Janis Stiefel has demonstrated expertise in investment strategies and has been involved in managing portfolios and providing guidance to clients.
I’m moving to Thailand. What about you?
I plan to move to Sri Lanka as they have good healthcare system over there.
Stephanie Janis Stiefel has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
Seriously I’d be lost without this man each time a budget came out.
Well, consider your info useless then. You're no better off with the 'knowledge' you've gained.
@@oliver2629did he lie?
He is a tiny hat 👒 propaganda tool of government..... WAKE ⏰️ up
😂😂😂😂
@@oliver2629 But you can plan and budget better. He also points out things that weren't mentioned in the budget or key notes that will be affecting some people.
Martin Lewis is amazing in that he’s an honest voice that voters actually listen to
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
It's Ms. Evelyn Vera doing, she's changed my life.
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.
Thank you Martin. Refreshing to have someone working on behalf of the people of the UK rather than against them....
You think he ain’t a puppet? 😂
Delusion
I've always liked Martin.
Think Martin for explaining everything so clearly
Thanku
You have some fantastic content on your channel. At 53 years old, my wife and I achieved a net worth of $1 million back in 2017. Fast forward five years, and it has grown to $2.4 million. Despite our combined annual salary of just over $100,000, we have adopted a frugal lifestyle. We continue to drive older cars, prepare meals at home, and make use of leftovers. Additionally, we have two children currently in college. Fortunately, we had saved for their college expenses, and they are contributing by working part-time. As a result, they will graduate without any student debt.
Right there with you. I'm retiring early, no debt. Kids are taken care of. Building my dream home on 11 acres, looking over the river valley. there are loads of ways to make a killing right now, but such high-volume near impeccable trades can only be carried out by real-time experts.
That right, I started investing sometime in 2018 and by late 2021, I pulled out a profit of over $750,000 with no prior investing knowledge or skill, I was basically just following the guidelines set by my financial advisor, so you don't necessarily need to be a perfect investor or do the hard works, just have a professional who guides & mentors you.
Mind if I ask you recommend this particular professional you use their service? i have quite a lot of marketing problems.
We must consider safer investments with promising returns in order to plan for the future. If you approach investing with a five-year perspective and simply DCA whenever you receive a check. Under the direction of my investment advisor, Melissa Terri Swayne, whose expertise in portfolio diversification is unsurpassed and client-focused, my portfolio has gained almost $643k since January 2022.
thank you for this tip , I must say, Melissa appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.
Thank you Martin Lewis & for tonight’s program 👍
Thank you Martin for your clarity. Much appreciated.
@@suecooney Who did you vote for Sue.
Clarity? He didnt mention brexit

Martin please speak slower - I can't keep up with you !
We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst
Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?
My CFA ’Melissa Terri Swayne’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.
Top Man Martin, broke it all down very well.
Thank you Martin, really useful. Great to have a factual rather than opinion based summary.

Agree Susan, he is someone you can actually trust that they say what they mean and mean what they say.
What award? What about an award for the downtrodden electorate for having to endure more bs?
Really great info Martin, thank you for simplifying it all!
Who did you vote for.
Brilliant Martin, you crammed so much in but were very clear and succinct as always, thanks for fighting our corner. Wish you were in parliament.
Thankyou Martin, you were superb in explaining it, but you are always superb 👏 😊😊❤
To get carers allowance you have to care at lease...35 hours a week...I really don't know how you fit a job into that...maybe making a cuppa..😂😂😂
@@mariachester950 Are you stupid? It's always been 35 hours a week... UNLESS you care for a family member. If you aren't caring for a family member and you care 35+ hours a week, you ARE a full time carer and therefore you don't need to "fit a job into that"?
Thanks Martin and Money Saving, covered everything, articulate and concise
Martin should get one of them OBE type thing-a-me-jig he is so helpful to those needing help, including me.

He was awarded an OBE in 2014. I'm not sure if you can be awarded a second? :-)

Thank you for providing this TLDR. Really enjoyed this quick summary
I work in the NHS and no one knows unless you work the amount of waste that goes on and sorry to say more money to the NHS will just mean more waste

Nah he’s excellent at small detail and knowledgable and practical but you want someone who has a broader view. Really you want someone like Martin in the cabinet
You spelled Nigel Farage wrong

Sadly only corrupt gobshites can be Prime Minister in the UK so Martin is most certainly excluded.

Thanks Martin, simple to understand as always 🙂
Great delivery, simple layman's terms, well understood, thank Martin.
Carer's Allowance is only going up by about £1.5 a week next year. The bus fair increase will more than wipe that out. I care for both parents (one with dementia other with parkinsons) for over 60 hours a week. Upping the amount of hours I cannot work is of no help at all :(
It is actually a joke. Not fair.
My daughter cares for me and her grandmother. She drives 100 miles a week to care for me, has three children, and a part time job. Carers are so undervalued in this country.
I get carer allowance for my mum but haven't been paid since Feb 2024 due to a backlog. The country is a fuckin joke. I've used all of my savings taking care of my mum.
There's no guaranteed bus fair increase. The £2 cap has been extended a few times over the last few years and has again been extended until the end of this year. Any price increases after that will depend on the bus companies. Obviously some bus journeys of 10 miles or more will ask for the full £3.
It is a joke. And when you don't have a loved one to care for you you go in to a care system that freezes and takes all your assets and you have to let them know that you have 25k left and if you don't, they will still charge you around £1600 a week and then you have to sell your house to pay for it. Seems like the only people making money out of care are the care homes and the government! Not that carers want to make money they just want their loved ones to have care with dignity and safety. Not something provided by £1600 a week council care home. This country is a fucking joke! Rewards boat people and discards people who built this country. Sad time, we are the ones allowing this to happen.
Excellent review Martin 👏 👌
Point of order: 7:05 The Work Capability Assessment was originally incepted by yvette Cooper and Frank Field in the last year of the previous Labour government. The WCA has been used ever since it's introduction by Labour. Today's budget said it would be reforming the WCA (whatever that means). As a disabled person, I've already had my fill of "worker/shirker/skiver/striver" rhetoric from both parties. The "There's too many disabled people" comments from Kendall, Reeves, Dodds, Phillipson et al is no less worrying than when Maria Miller, Mike Penning, Esther McVey, Mark Hoban or any of the Tories said it a decade ago.
Finally someone speaking with actual facts and not just bias. I hate how RUclips recommends me gbnews for this sort of thing who are the most biased lot on the planet. This is brilliant. Keep it up!
GB News 's coverage of the budget was excellent , unlike the BBC which was deadly dull .
GBN News biased? They just say it like it is and include viewpoints from all sides. The most ‘biased lot on the planet’ are Sky News, ITV, C4 and the BBC, which always favour far left fas cists!
@@chrisgoff6544 so you want entertainment, not news.
If the government spent money efficiently we wouldn't be in this mess. We need open source accountancy for government contracts and general spending

@brocktonblockbuster6555 Get your head check please.
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.
@@mikegarvey17Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?
I work with *Izella Annette Anderson* as my fiduciary advisor. Simply look up the name. You would discover the information you needed to schedule an appointment.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
Been saving up for my first home for 10 years. No homes in my area are under £300k. My first home just got £15k more expensive over night. That’s such a massive amount of money. To put it in perspective I’ve saved about it that much in those 10 years. So I’m 10 years away again 😢
Move to Durham dales, quiet life, not many houses over 300,000 not under it, great place to live
Move somewhere else then. 300k is a stupid amount for a first home. You could spend half that in some areas
Yeah that's right. Just uproot yourself because someone on the Internet says so.
Job, family, friends situations. Have a bit more respect
You do realise that as a first time buyer you have access to 95% mortgages don’t you?
Yes you will pay a bit higher interest rate but as long as you get a 2 year fix you will then Be able to remortgage onto a normal rate mortgage
That’s what I’ve done
you could have said where you live..... very informative of you.... 😂
Great video Martin,I will be tuning in tonight to watching you program tonight.
top info as always
Brilliant and insightful summary
That was illuminating. Thank you!
Definitely a mixed bag
Thank you, a financial man that explains things so I can understand.
Why is nobody seemingly concerned with the giant rise in minimum wage? Look at it this way... in 2021 minimum wage was £8.72, a year later £9.50, then £10.42, now it's £11.44 and next April £12.21. That's a minimum wage increase of around 40% in just 5 years, and whilst this sounds lovely, everyone who sits above the threshold of minimum wage isn't getting this increase! In fact most will likely only have been getting 1% increase a year.. And here lies the problem. For a shop manager, or supervisor who has been on around £12-£12.50 an hour for the past few years, they are going to be put in a position next April, where they are running a store or a team and all the extra responsibility that comes along with that, and being paid almost the same as the staff they employ. And companies for sure won't be matching a 6-7% pay rise across the board to combat the next rise in minimum wage, because it will be too expensive too. I can see it causing a lot of problems, which will lead to companies having to increase prices to try to find more money to pay new and senior staff. Everything was fine and dandy two years ago when they supervisors and management were working for £12 an hour and their employees were making £10.42, but now all of a sudden they now find themselves after a standard 1% increase, working for £12.50 whilst the staff they employee are earning practically the same. Big problem! And good luck to all those who have to have the difficult conversations with their head office about going from £12.50 to somewhere around £14-£15 an hour to make it worth having the responsibilities of management. Even £14 an hour still only puts you on £4k more a year than staff with 0 experience entering a role.
Thankyou Martin, you make things like the BUDGET , understandable - YOURE A BRILLIANT MAN , Im sure most would be lost without your wonderful input x THANKYOU XX
Martin actually speaks like he genuinely cares about everyones well being, I think Martin came from modest beginnings and became wealthy and doesn't forget it.
hes a fast talker, 100 mph 🚓
To be fair, he likely cares neither way, being worth over 100mill for simply setting up a website a few years ago.
But idle hands and all that, he has to keep busy.

True but mostly because there are so many idiots out there… such as those who believe the 2 parties are different…
@@DocFUNKist Evidently from this video. Have you read the comment section 💀
Amazon pays no tax that's 0 tax. Prince William owns Cornwall pays 10k a year like king Charles did for decades. Google has a office in the UK pay 0 tax.
Liz Truss wanted to tax them.
The bond and equity markets foreclosed on her and her government fell.
Labour KNOW what will happen if they go after the WEF elites.
Crazy how if we were still inside the EU they would be forced to pay their fair share thanks to legislation brought in by the EU a few years ago. Ireland was recently given a huge back pay by Amazon. But you know, "will of the people" and all hat mumbo jumbo.
They only go after the little guy. And if you ever go on their job website, you will see they all get paid massive salaries ranging from 50K plus to over 160 K. Scandalous crooks.
Actually King Charles paid about £5 million in taxes on money from the Duchy of Cornwall for the year ending in 2021 and £5.89 million in 2022.
Well said they are looking after their friends.
07:30 the unfairness of not looking at household income applies to all taxes. Martin should be campaigning for this across the board.
Well done !
Great to have it summarised so quick and clearly put
Your brilliant Martin love watching you and being on the peoples side, also explaining so simple so everyone understands. Thank you so much💯
Increased NI contribution means no pay rise next year for us employees.
The gap between my pay and minimum wage has been closing for a few years. A downward spiral towards beggaring everyone.
@@therealunclevanyaI think they want everyone to give up on being self employed and work for big companies
It benefits Labour to have a significant portion of the country on handouts with no self respect, or hope, voting for them for scraps.
That is an assume. They would of given people a payrise anways.
@@thumper364they hate the self employed. IR35 anyone? May as well go and work in tesco or better still try and get a job in the NHS... who needs mechanical engineers anyways right.

Thank you Martin for your help understanding this budget but no help for pensions yes I know pensions are increasing but higher bills will take all that and more thank you for caring
Martin, those carer allowances are a disgrace. Far too low.
My cares gets paid through my universal credit.
Some carers are overpaid because they are rubbish and its just a job... Some are not payed enough because they do more the the minimum and actually care about the person. Carers need a load of investigation and investment if the NHS stands a chance of staying free.
This isn’t for people working as carers….. it’s for family members who end up caring full time for their loved ones.
Labour changed too little to.small
Labour and the press keep telling us Rachel reeves was ex Bank of England. What they don’t tell you is she was a junior clerk and not too bright😂
Lol! it was like was one of those disclaimers you get on a radio at the end. Very informative though. Thanks Martin, you're a super star.
Death by a thousand taxes. They played around the edges and didn't hit root causes... again. Both parties guilty of these.
Root causes of what ? Another pub chancellor without a clue.
@derekwhyle1884 Okay smart Alec... hold my beer. The Bank of England charges the citizenry for the luxury of creating those pretty slips of plastic the citizenry use for exchange an interest, the currency created is out of thin air and devalued through the banking policies that expect not accept inflation to downsize previous debt by that very same devaluation, the UK citizenry are paying a larger percentage of interest portion of repayments of government debt, the government is funding programs that neither serve the interests of the citizenry nor are of value (specifically entanglements in other countries foreign conflicts and wars), the government is using the increased influx of 'immigrants' to fudge figures to borrow... shall I continue or can I get my beer back (an assumption not based on empirical evidence/facts on your part)
@@redacted629 what?
@@korkyybuchek6133 Making assumptions here based on the 'What'. Both parties present budgets to manage or fix the economy and the end result is rarely ever addressing the root causes that triggers the death by a thousand taxes I referred to.

1) National Insurance increase: Will mean redundancies for some.
2) Minimum wage increase: Increased quality of life for some, unemployment for others.
3) Stamp duty on second homes: No real change, second homes are luxuries.
4) Stamp duty on lower value properties: It will make buying a home even less affordable for many.
5) Inheritance tax freeze: No change.
6) Inheritance tax on pensions: Hardship for some.
7) Carer's allowance increase: Slight improvement for some, a very good thing for them. The cliff edge is terribly unfair and needs changing.
8) State pension increase: A good thing for many.
9) Child benefit: No change. It's an unfair benefit anyway.
10) Capital gains increase: Will impact the middle classes substantially.
Minimum wage increase will just increase prices. Not very helpfull
@@wotzcheez It will increase rents mostly. Landlords will be happy.
if you research the WEF you will realise they want you to own nothing and this is the perfect budget
@@user-xu5vl5th9n will increase everything. Companies just took a hit to their performance markers. That has to get made up somewhere
i love you pignorant working class torys. you whinge and whine about everything yet understand none of it
I got a letter from my landlady's solicitor yesterday. She sold the flats I'm in (and my neighbours). I don't know my new landlord yet. But I guess she sold up just in time for the budget. It's quite scary for us.
I think the income tax threshold freeze is the biggest con! "We're not putting tax up, oh, but we're going to charge you more tax". Sneaky and quite nasty as it affects lowest earners more. New minimum wage is a 6.73% rise. For 37.5 hours a week annual take home would go up from £20,360 to £21,561.60, a 5.9% increase. But because the threshold doesn't get a similar rise, tax would go up from £1,947.60 to £2,247.90 which is a whopping 15.4% increase!
The most understated part of the budget is the bringing in of pensions into IHT including farming (farmers should be calculating winding up costs right now). The IHT change has effectively created a NEW LTA of 650K for a couple. You now have as a couple only have a pot of 650k (whether it it in a SIPP, ISA or GIA) to generate income for your retirement (4% of 650k = 26k income for a couple) . Any exposure above this immediately opens you up for immediate 40% additional tax or more (if you die above 75 it becomes 52%). And because you don't know when you will die (and due to market fluctuations you would normally err on the side of a bigger pot, but with a 40%+ tax hanging over you, one would be inclined to blow the excess. That's for the fortunate ones that can max out this new imposed limit. Yes, one can buy an annuity, but thats why the pension reforms were done to allow more control of your destiny because everyone's health, desires and family circumstances are different. It's your savings you should spend it as you like. Why should giving away money to a politic party reduce the IHT bill?
All of these do not apply to civil service pensions, but of course one forgets when the goose is dead and there is nothing to take anymore who will pay the unfunded pensions?
This budget has decimated the pension industry IMHO, and enslaved the future generation (they just haven't figure out the maths yet). And imposed a £1M cap on wealth (hence the farming and entrepreneur £1M exemption).
Those with a potential retirement asset pool of 650k+ will look to asset strip themselves by gifting and/or moving aboard the money.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1.25m in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.

Yes, Martin should be our Prime Minister......looking after the People !!!!!! He talks our language. He cares. He would be worth every Penny of our taxes.
I'm a carer for my wife who has cerebral pasly, I don't get the chance to earn extra money, and I don't get free prescriptions or dental.
Who did you vote for.
If you are on certain benefits you may qualify for prescriptions. If you're below state pension age you qualify for carer's allowance (not great, but better than nothing). Or you could request an assessment from Adult Social Services (this is a legal entitlement) and look into Direct Payments to pay for care.
You're allowed to earn up to £200p/w and keep Carers allowance now. If ur on UC U can work up to 16hrs p/w declared.
@@ExoticDoll-ct3ud Yes - and that helps a bit (but still keeps you on a very low income if you’re a carer) tho the OP said he couldn’t work because of his caring role. So he is eligible for Carers Allowance provided he is not on state pension, and as a low income household other benefits like housing, PIP or disability living allowance, direct payments to pay for extra care may be possible.
You have my respect.
Taxed till we die. And then taxed again. How can any modern civilisation think it’s morally or ethically fair to tax someone as much as we are. Get paid, you’re taxed on it. Go to the shop with your pay, you pay tax on things you buy. You decide to invest for your future and risk your own money (which has already been taxed) In shares, crypto, etc. you’re lucky and shrewd and actually over time increase your investment. Guess what? You’re taxed on that gain. Even though it’s you who risked your own money. Then when you die and pass it onto your kids they are taxed on it AGAIN. How can the same pound coin be taxed time and time again? It’s disgusting
Go somewhere that you're not taxed then. Like Somalia.
Nobody likes paying taxes, but there are some advantages. Like the NHS is cheaper than the equivalent medical insurance. Investing has regulations that allow you to trade shares with some trust in the info you're basing your decisions on. And plenty of companies round the world poison and exploit citizens due to lack of regulation and corruption. Just a few examples.
@@philipshore6924The NHS is no longer fit for purpose. Has been in that state for donkeys years, since we opened the floodgates of migration. Might as well pay for private.
@@philipshore6924 forgot to mention the fact that everything provided by the government from tax lacks in quality compared to the private sector. Everyone knows about the infinite issues with the NHS..much less in private healthcare. Public 'education' is more of indoctrination nowadays again private education is way better. Police are not going to save you from murder, assault or robbery nowadays.. private security have a way better chance of preventing this stuff. Only purpose the government has is defense and enforcing the law..every other tax is theft..
Totally agree. It's all a scam. "taxed to death" is very real and is something that some (fortunate) people fail to understand.
"Go to Somalia" indeed. A ridiculous answer like this exposes the utter ignorance of a person.
The problem i got is the amount of money that is going to be thrown at the NHS again and nothing will change until they change how it is operating.
NHS giant money pit needs reform in a big way all too cosy questions need to be ask why so many staff are obese 😂
Martin your a Man amongst men! Thank you ❤
Keep up the good work. At least someone cares enough to keep us informed properly!
Can you address sometime the stuff going around about DWP having full access to all pensioners bank accounts from January 2025??? The stuff flying around us causing a lot of confusion…..is it even true??
Many thanks!
Honestly if I could afford to leave here I would it’s horrible now
This county is like one big prison my friend.we are all trapped on this island enslaved into a system and forced into handing any money we earn to darth vader and the evil people.
Not many other countries are better (fyi)- maybe fancy a trip to Ukraine or Israel ?

World is horrible, run by greed, they always want more and for us to have less.
It means that those who are working are going to sponsor a nice and comfy life for those who don't work and never paid any taxes in this country.
I bet you’re all for the +600,000 immigrants (legal and illegal) arriving every year. I find it agreeable that by contributing my hard earned earnings will assist those unfortunate not to be able to work, however, the freeloading leeches travelling through Europe to get here with their flash clothes, new phones and sharp haircuts can get fucked. Aiming for 80K this year… to have it subsidise refugees!
They do vote though
Yeah but under the Tories the workers just fed into millionaires bank accounts, I would rather my money went to those with nothing than to those that have everything. The ones in the middle will always be taken advantage of.

Great stuff, Martin. You explain things simply, and avoid any political bias. I wish more commentators were like you.
Video was only 9:17. I assume the exchequer took the other 43 seconds too 😂😂
Hahahah love this comment
🤣🤣🤣
This comment wins the Internet
lol

Wow. The minimum wage is getting closer to that of a Band 5 Nurse. Makes going to University a bit more useless.
This is a good point. Although nurses get a decent pension.
@@Hiram8866Their pay needs to go up a lot, otherwise more and more will do what I did and leave the UK
So driving up minimum wages should speed up rises in all other sectors especially nursing so the employers can get enough employees.
@@JamesRicketts-y7y That hasn't worked so far.
@@JamesRicketts-y7y The opposite seems to happen. Costs get passed onto consumers which drives up inflation and less people go into university to become skilled as the wage/salary gap is increasingly diminishing. This last year, Nurses were given a 5.5% increase, whereas min wage goes up 6.7%, unsure what message this is supposed to send
About second home 😮 its taking all my time to keep up now on rental
Thank God for Martin, he's the only person I trust and the only one that cares about the people.
Thank you for your service Martin 🫡
Typical Labour. Borrow tax and spend, keep repeating until we have nothing.
If you a pensioner and you are carer, all they get is £16 a week on top of their pension. A friend looks after her 37 year old disabled son because he didn't like living in residential care. £16 a week for working 24/7.
If they don’t like it they can send their son to residential care.
Yep...my mum.gets nothing for looking after my disabled dad cos she worked and has a small private pension
@WestermanT. Don't be a westeman oh wait...
@@WestermanT. A disabled adult in residential care costs the taxpayer thousands. £16 a week is a pittance. It would be far less costly to keep disabled adults at home. And that is taking your completely lacking in compassion, Spock-like view
@@WestermanT. How are you this much of a ghoul?
Would love to see Martin Lewis interview Professor Richard Murphy on what economic choices our government could make to fix broken Britain.
I'd say put 5p on Basic Tax rate or cut Public Spending by 40 - 50 per cent...
Deploying what's left of the Royal Navy in the channel might be a start. But that would make it harder to rig the next election
Best thing to do is ignore anything Murphy says. You should read the dross he wrote for Common Weal on a a prospective tax system for an independent Scotland, it's nothing short of an economic suicide note. He's nowt but an accountant. Useful for finding out when things don't add up, but terrible at coming up with practical solutions.
Richard Murphy is a buffoon. When we had Zero rares he wanted to change the bank of England mandate to raise the inflation target to 4 or 5 % as inflation was no longer a risk. .. . . That worked out well 10% plus Rampant I inflation. God only knows what it would of been if Murphy was in charge.
Thank goodness, some authentic reliable information 👍
Thanks for the clearly and simply explaining everything
Love it Martin , you managed to deliver the budget in ~ 9 minutes. Reeves wasted all day .
Or most folk lack any knowledge in politics and brain just runs on ten second reels or shorts 😅
to be fair martin just summarized what was said in detail by reeves
So you’re lazy.
Got it.
@ just too busy I guess .
He said himself, he ignored the spending increases and reconfiguration of spending and debt. The spending increases to the NHS and especially education were desperately needed. Alongside public investment that was going to be cut significantly, but was increased. Devolution spending increases will also effect numerous lives.
I've got a good mind to start drinking beer!
Austerity killed this country. When interest rates were low, that was the time to invest heavily in infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc. Instead Cameron and Osborne cut the budgets of all departments and councils. What a massive waste of an opportunity!
what austerity ? The truth is poor people in this country think they are entitled to "public services". What right do you have for someone else to pay for your old age/health care etc ?
@Bistna444 qualify that comment ? what jobs can't they do. Id on't care if they "want" to do them - I don't want to work but I have to. They should have the morality to do their utmost - not just collect benefits becasue I'm compassionate. But I think everyone should be like that.
@@garethwilliams4467wdym what austerity? Our services are crumbling and need investment badly, otherwise productivity will continue to stagnate.
Also people who live in a developed country are in fact entitled to public services by nature of being here. I like having roads for one 👍
@@northernrogue1 all nice words .. but I bet you can't define "need",. Who is worthy of this charity and who isn't ? How should one have lived their life to be in contention. By the way I'm betting as your left leaning you are a bottom feeder - tell me how much tax you paid last year ? I bet what you expect far outstrips what you've put in over the years - so who should pay the difference ? Me, because I have broad shoulders ? Forget I don't know you or owe you anything you should earn enough to cover health insurance. Oh ... and you think a pension will save you after that Labour Budget. Dear oh dear.
@@matthewbrennan9758 Never was any austerity , check the figures our services are getting more money than ever. The NHS has been getting way more than was written on the side of that bus since brexit. And now we're giving them an extra 25 billion, schools are full of smart boards, classroom assistants and SENCO's, where is the austerity I ask again ? Plus, what does our productivity have to do with our services ? I'd argue that our obsession on taxing/spending into public service IS what is ruining our productivity. What's the point in being good ... if you have to give it all away to the "less fortunate"? So you're mum and Dad had sex ... and you can breathe in and out - that doesn't entitle you to anything, try earning your public services instead
1:25 *small business in this case means employers with 4 or less paid employees. Any employer with 5 or more employees is not included in the allowance.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Very informative
The no rise on fuel duty is unexpected to me considering they keep losing money on duty and road tax on people going EV, expected them to make us regular car users to foot the bill.
There are fairly major changes to vehicle tax coming in over the next 12 months, EVs won’t be free to tax any more and “premium” vehicles are going to be paying considerably more.
They want to tax drivers by the mile using monitoring software
@mrECisME they won't do that any time soon, they can't afford the infrastructure. Look at HS2, this country can't even build a train line without costs and deadlines spiralling out of control.
glad they made you look foolish, would love to see you making your excuses next tiem you go to the pub.
@@mrECisME Or turn you car off remotely so it can't be used. That is the real purpose of EV's......15 minute cities?
I'm a carer for my mother, to get that benefit I have to pass the 35 hour mark. I cannot go and get this £196 "Extra" as I am full time. The min wage was raised to £12 - something. Well it seems like I am on £2.45 an hour (even though my hours are 24/7, I'm basing this off the 35 Hour minimum limit) I think every carer in the uk should just say "I'm not doing it anymore" and hand their loved ones over to the goverment, then let them see the £££ black hole that would produce. Raising the amount you can earn, rather than the amount you get is discusting and VERY blind.
I’m the same as you. I am a carer 24/7 I cannot go out to work so I get no extra
@willow9790 apologies for my ignorance but doesn't the carer allowance entitle you (or the person you care for) to other form of benefits?
@@OGFury Yes my mother gets her benifits. I get mine I get a total (inculding Universal Credit) of around £500 a month total. Increasing the working allowance benifits for those that can leave the person they are caring for helps those that dont have to do much caring, they can get a second job. those people whos job is caring makes that money is a problem. some of us cant leave. This punishes those that cant work for extra money as they are too busy looking after their family/mum / dad to get a second job. Without the second job this news is pointless.
When I worked part time my carers allowance and earnings were deducted from universal credit, and I was no better off. So even with that increase, they have announced it will make no difference to carers.
@@ywiggan Yes, It is taken away from U.C. as a carer you are classed as working (For £2.45 an hour technically) The more you care the less you get.
I read somewhere that a single person in the UK needs on average, around £1,400.00 per month to live. So why does the government think that pensioners should live on a measly £230.45 per week. This falls far short of what a single person requires according to statistics. I will become a pensioner in a couple of years and I'll still be a single person living in the UK, paying bills, buying food and clothing etc just as a younger person does. Being older doesn't mean you need less money. If's disgusting how pensioners are treated in this country especially if you have worked all your life and paid your dues.
My auntie when she was old said it cost a lot more money when your old.Now I'm old I know exactly what she means !!
@ThePersian I think there is an assumption that all retired people would have paid off their mortgage and not have that particular expense, whereas somebody still working may have a mortgage
I'm in no way saying that pensioners deserve less - this is just my thought on your question
@@coraclouden2506 Yeah, surely that's obvious. My share of the mortgage is £900 (do pensioners pay Council Tax still?). If I had no mortgage I could probably live on a grand a month (in South East). I wouldn't be able to do much though but that's what savings/private pension is for.
@@CheximusAs far as I'm aware pensioners still pay council tax. The point I made should be obvious, but many people are oblivious to the realities of how things work. Savings etc are certainly a must
@@Cheximus Pensioners do pay council tax and I am a renter and do not have a mortgage. Rent will be the same no matter what my age, not everyone owns their own home and not everyone earns enough to pay into private pensions or to save money. I am sure there are many like this in the UK.
To sum it! Were all screwed! Now where's my begging bowl?
Where's Vorderman these days? Strangely quiet now her beloved Labour Party are screwing the life out of people.
She's having more plastic surgery, currently waiting on two tanker loads of botox to be airlifted in to keep her face from falling off....
How have they screwed the life out of you? Or did the Daily Mail just tell you that?
Compared to the conservative budgets in the last 10 years this will be much be much more fair. Especially to lower earners and those in university education. Whilst being much harsher on those with higher income and those earning profits on assets and not labour. The OBR estimates this will also be much more fiscally responsible.
you working class tories really are an embarrassment to this country. Vorderman was campaigning to get the tories, tactical voting is what she campaigned for, not the labour party

My brother has worked all his life and has decided to, sell his house, give the money to his kids and move in with them. He is 57 and when he is at pensionable age, plans on being elegible for every benefit and pension credit going as he will have no property or money. Food for thought!!!
Had the same thought myself. If you have nothing you get everything. My Dad had to spend every penny he had when he got dementia and had to be cared for.
Many benefits are assessed on household income. Multi generational households make a lot of economic sense, but you do sacrifice your independence.
He will have to move out or his kids will have to pay more in some way.
I hope his kids don't get bored of him.
So basically 1st time buyers are screwed in London and full time carers who have no relief when they can't get a side income
I mean, being a first time buying in one of the most expensive cities in the world isn't really a smart move
There's a whole country to choose from with drastically lower property costs
@@lucisano i did the maths on this a while ago for my personal situation. Lving and working in london makes me pounds richer, if % poorer. And the value of houses and living is based on pounds rather than %.
Sadly, as a contractor through an umbrella (PAYE inside IR35) I now basically have a pay cut as it comes off my day rate.
I looked at qualifying for support for the retired compared to those working and there is a dreadful disparity.
To qualify for Household Support (support for rising costs of food, energy and other household bills) a single individual must have an income

Hello, I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without in-depth knowledge, I can't decide which is best. Can you elaborate on how you invest and earn?
The same goes for me, I do a wide range of investments with the help of my financial advisor. I advise you to find a professional to help you plan and improve your management skills. By the way, working with Michael Wayne was a great experience.
I recently started trading last year in April, invested 50k in the market, and my portfolio is currently worth slightly over 190k. That's a lot more than I make in a year from my job.
My advice to anyone holding cryptocurrency right now is to invest it and earn up to 70 times of the initial capitals. Holding cryptocurrency will make it reduce because once the price goes down it will definitely go down as well but when you invest it, you won't have to worry about anything
A CNBC news host spoke highly big about this man and his loss preventing strategies. I've been trying to reach him Thanks, y'all, for the info
We're already paying the highest rate of tax vs GDP since WW2. Our problem isn't a lack of tax, and there's certainly no justification for increasing taxes even further. The problem is our bloated and inefficient civil service, which has grown far too large for the country to support, and urgently needs to be cut back down to size. Unless this problem is addressed, the UK is only going to go from bad to worse, with anyone with money or in demand skills fleeing abroad, and the country as a whole sinking deeper and deeper into poverty. As happened with Labour in the 1970s, where at one point they increased taxes to 96 percent, there were rolling blackouts and the Winter of Discontent, and many of our most skilled and talented people moved abroad permanently.
