The Buy-to-let tax changes will only push rents up - hitting people's salaries and savings. So scrapping option 2, could go someway in helping support option 3 for those living by choice or necessity in rented housing.

Interest rate rise. That's all I care about. I will never be able to afford a house (recession graduate), but being able to save enough for old age (since gov pensions and NHS are likely to have disappeared) is a huge concern for me. I already live like a hermit to save every spare penny I have, but inflation just destroys it as savings rates do not keep up.

I just want more money in my pocket! As a family we sometimes struggle to just put food on the table, Petrol price cuts would help a lot as we live in a semi rural area. I would also like to see IHT lowered so that I might actually be able to pass something on! Savings?? what are they?!

There isn't anything in this poll about the disabled and just to make it plain I have run around taking good friends of mine to their assessments by ASOS so that they can keep the payments they are entitled to. I think some of the problems there have been the number of people falsely making claims. I have seen a former neighbour making a big show of how good he was at cossack dancing when he has claimed for years he has trouble walking whilst other quite young people are coping with their skeletons literally disintegrating.

The selfishness of the majority of Moneywise readers continues with most just thinking of there own wallets while the the disabled continue to be kicked in the teeth while they are down; the recent Personal Independance Payments eligibility cuts for mentally disabled folk introduced by Tory minister Penny Mordaunt against Tribunal Courts' advice is a recent example of how travesties go unnoticed by the larger well -off population.

I find it hard to choose between increasing IHT and freezing petrol prices. They were going to increase IHT banding but the Lib Dems in the Coalition voted it down and it is now even more ridiculous here in the South East. What comes in with the new tax year is pathetic. It is made worse by the shillyshallying. There was talk they were going to raise it to £500k and even £1 million but, no, they backtracked. This is a 40% tax on ordinary people for heavens sake.

Very hard choice. I was torn between increasing the inheritance tax limit and incentives for savers. I would actually like both just about equally.
