My wife got made redundant from her teaching job about three months ago, cuts to the schools budget. We probably have until October and then we don't know what is going to happen after that. Because we have a small daughter we can't afford child care either, so I look my daughter with the help of my 81 year old mum.
My wife is taking supply as and when but it's not enough to cover our bills. We are trying our best to stay positive. I'm trying my best to find a job that fits in with our needs as my wife doesn't drive, and because the agency call her in the morning for work, it is not enough time for her to get to work using public transport.
In the meantime I'm leaflet delivering, after taking out my fuel costs to get to the area I have to deliver, I'm earning about 3.00 per hour. I'm self employed because the company doesn't want to pay minimum wage and exhausts all the responsibility of employing people and I am desperate for money. It's not the nicest job in the world.
This type of economy has been going on for the last 9-10 years now, it's crap, and I didn't see it changing unless we radically changed, which is one of the reasons I voted Leave including my wife.
Mate, I understand. When the remain campaign is selling more of the same and leave is selling better off in the future.
I hope you were right and I am wrong, but I don't believe it will be me and you that feels the benefit if there is any.
