Budget??? 2010???

According to the news, now there is a "new slew" of tax breaks for us poor things.... But then...... is it really? Bigger tax breaks for families living with the elderly.... Ok... but if let us say... me and my sis... we are both looking after the energizer rabbit and she is costing us a royal bomb... Both of us pay or her medical and her chinese medicine and her leisure activities... do we both get the tax break or only one??? Of course only one lah!!!! So why are we happy? I am not.....

Now the wife can also get a tax break if she is working... whooppeeee.... Hey... Sillypore is not a cheap place to live in ok??? How much we earn can be spent just like that.... So why not give more concrete support??? Of course it will go down well with the more financially challenged portion of the population, however... we are really the sandwiched crowd.... Not earning enough to be comfortable and yet earning too much that we fall through the umbrella.... If you think that earning 5k a month is big money... you have to pay for a cancer stricken mother whose medical is easily 1k a month.... And then your own family which is another 2k.... and so on... what are you left with???? I do not spend and yet I am struggling.... Having to pay for car and so on.... but then of course, people will say... take MRT lor... yea right.... just try that with the monster and you will want to drive... hehehehe

Its all about cash and how much of it you have... I want to have more... but can I get more? I want to save... but then everything is so expensive.....
