Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    ... car insurance cost is lowered when you add a spouse. Surely two people implies more risk?

    ... you have to pay tax on your savings which is money you've already been taxed on.

    Sounds like you've lost sleep worrying whether the light in the fridge goes out when you close the door.

    I asked my insurer about that spouse thing, answer was "if you have to answer to someone about your car, you're more likely to drive carefully!"
    What a pile of s'hite. I kid you not!

    Re insurance, they figure 2 drivers will be closer to the average risk compared to one I guess.

    Re paying tax on your savings, you only pay tax on interest (profit) on your saving so no further tax on your after tax pay packet.
