What did you think of the budget? Are there any measures relevant to your life?

There are general positives to this particular budget for us. My wage is about to increase because of the rise in minimum wage and there’s also an increase on child benefit. However, I expect we will lose 55% of this on the Universal Credit taper rate unless the earnings allowance before the taper rate changes too. So we await further news.
