As a kid, raised by a single mum, I experienced ‘scrimping and saving’. If, like #bbclaurak, you use this phrase wrongly, the below might help:
Sending a kid to private school ❌
Creating a property portfolio ❌
Putting an electric fire on for 30 mins on a bitter winter’s day ✅— Paul Ilett (@Paul_Ilett) October 27, 2024

Just how divorced from reality is @bbclaurak ? No concern for the huge numbers who rely on food banks but deep worry about landlords. What next-‘Will nobody think about the plight of billionaires?’. #bbclaurak

You’ll find it’s tenants who do the scrimping and saving to pay the landlord’s mortgage for him, while keeping his property warm and safe as house prices rise to add more value for the landlord, but making the hope of owning their own home less and less possible. https://t.co/XwqkmJFjl0

People ‘scrimp and save’ to have the heating on in the winter or to send their kids on a school trip. They do not ‘scrimp and save’ to create property portfolios.
Hey @bbcnews STOP stealing the language of poverty to create false narratives about people living privileged lives. https://t.co/IKNWfgjLhq

It’s pretty simple actually, if your income doesn’t come from your actual labour then you didn’t earn it. https://t.co/8NHIE5uNI2
