It might also be nice if my mum could stop implying that any misfortunes I have are due to my severe psychiatric illness (I do not have a psychiatric illness, she just likes to imply it for some reason)

It would be nice if just once in my life I could say the librarian job market is difficult without my mum telling me how much worse it was for her in the 1970s when, aged 21, she had just bought a house and didn't immediately land her dream job.

That is a very bad take on tithing. It is absolutely possible to give away 10% of income while earning below £80k. The very poor consistently give away a much higher proportion of their income than high and middle earners.

I wonder how people in £2million houses think people in tiny flats pay service charges and major works every year? Because that's more than £2k.

The sad thing about the accidental release of the full budget is that I can't ask my accountant dad what he thinks of the budget 10 seconds after the Chancellor stops talking, so that he can tell me with excessive patience that it's only the headlines and he can't read the full thing until tomorrow.
