NEW COST OF LIVING BONUS?

Have you seen the headlines saying there's a new cost of living bonus for everyone? Okay, but let's see exactly what that means for us. Okay. So it's not gonna be a lump sum that's landed in our banks or anything like that, but it's a package of measures designed to reduce just some of the everyday costs. So I am reading from the screen just to make sure I get this detail right. So it's including removing the VAT from domestic electricity from October. So we know about that already. Bringing back the £2 bus fare cap in England, um, from January. So that will help if you do commute on the bus. And free bus travel for children in August. So, 0% electricity VAT, £2 bus fares return, Free children's bus travel. So, could be helpful. Certainly during school holidays could make a real difference especially if you rely on buses. But others are much smaller than the headlines are actually making them sound. So for example, the VAT change on energy saving an average household £45 a year. Helpful, yes. Life changing? Probably not, because either the bills are just gonna continue to rise. So, but it's definitely worth looking at the headlines and understanding what each announcement actually means for your household. Um, but which change is gonna make the difference for your family, if anything? So, yeah, let me know.
