A dad who earns £30,000 a year asked money saving expert Martin Lewis if he would be "better off on benefits". The father-of-two contacted Martin to explain his dilemma in the latest episode of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live on ITV.
The man, called Michael, explained that he and his partner have eight-month-old twins and are facing a staggering £3,000-a-month bill for childcare.
He said it means he "simply can't afford to go back to work", reports YorkshireLive. The man did not elaborate further and it was unclear if he has already been forced to leave his job or what is his partner's situation is.
