00:00Probably not but for small businesses it's not affordable. I do accounts for a
00:07preschool and with that and the National Insurance it's not affordable.
00:13I feel really privileged that I'm not in a position to think about that because I can't
00:18imagine how people afford to live nowadays. You know I think so many people
00:22spend over half their income on rent or mortgage or whatever. I think it's
00:27really really challenging to be able to look after yourself, your family well. I
00:32mean I think for me like eating well is such an important thing and I really
00:36value having the money to be able to do that. I know loads of people can't do that.
00:41If you are under zero line of course you are struggling.
00:47Yeah lots of people can't give their loan or if they are renting
00:55you know electric this sort of things yeah of course.
