Are any beyonders actually benefitting from Trudeau's new child benefit?

[nzwasp]

Before we were getting $320 a month for our 2 x kids under 6. Now we are getting $0.

I imagine most beyonders are getting nothing?

However looking at the calculator if you have 4+ kids and make more than 200k you get money as well. Infact if you somehow had 7 kids and made 250k per year you would be receiving around $1500 a month.

Not sure if there calculator is just broken at this point though, now that the phoenix pay system is out in the news I find it hard to believe govt IT can make anything work.

I would say the benefit is for those that no longer have to pay for other peoples kids.

pretty sure were still paying its just distributed "fairly" ie to those who are so broke they have no business having kids to begin with and the uber rich who dont need the money.

Typical government in screwing over the majority aka middle class.

Yeah man, aim low and quit making so much.

Touche.

In new "hidden" taxes, we're paying even more.

I went from $160 for the one kid to $120. we have another kid on the way so we will see how that changes things.

[gretz]

Down to zero here too

Well, considering Beyond is full of baller's, why would they need (or get) the child benefit?



But seriously, the point of the program isn't to give a family earning $150k+ per year help. I know that might be what Beyonders need to barely survive in their $800k McMansion, but seriously?

$0.

Child care before grade 1 is expensive, for families making $150k plus, it's typically both parents working, which means they need child care more. It's like a mortgage payment per kid. It's almost advantageous for dual income families at that income level to drop to single income and have a stay at home mom/dad with 2+ kids.

Down 60% I believe

[ExtraSlow]

Beyonder = 1%er. Fact.

I was thinking a part time stay at home parent. That is, the one parent works part time at a paying job, and also works part time at taking care of the brood. The money from the part time job, can be used for the part time day care. That's not only beneficial financially, but best for the kid as the thing will get some social conditioning in a day care environment

Child care is fucking expensive as hell. A part-time woman would essentially make zero after paying for child care.

Don't worry Seth1968, no woman's ever gonna let your semen settle in her vagina.

I couldn't even imagine having kids with today's cost of living and childcare with $150k per year coming in. The numbers just straight up don't add up. I don't live all that expensive of a lifestyle and there is no way I could make raising a kid on my and my wife's (well over 150) combined income work. Let alone setting them up to go to post-secondary etc.



But all the people my age I know with kids? They are nowhere near that income level which I just find mind boggling. It's as if the pre requisite for having kids young is not being able to do math.

I realize that isn't the case for everyone and there are always extenuating circumstances. But I do believe that is the case for most.
