why should I work

[muffinpieKatie]

Why should I work when if I don't I get all my rent paid council tax paid and £120 every two weeks ,

But if I work for min wage full time I would only end up with £30 a week for my self which ain't anoth to live on

I'm also starting college in September and if I don't work I will have it all paid for me but if I'm working there would be no chance off me going to college and trying to make a better life for me ,

BEFORE YOU ALL START GOING MAD I'M JUST SAYING THIS TO SHOW THAT FOR SOME A LIFE ON BENITFITS IS THE ONLY CHOICE

(sorry about spelling :))

[muffinpieKatie]

I could be a lot worser as dotty said at least I ain't got kids as most people my age are doing to get more money and a council house .

[ummmm]

pmsl....much much worser...

[muffinpieKatie]

Duffy shut it you freak

[dotty.]

If I was in katie's position I would feel angry at having to draw benefit and I can understand her wanting to ask people to help her get things straight in her head. Probably many people have in some way or another drawn benefit from the state or will be likely to draw it in their futures, we can't turn on people who are at that stage in their life today as none of us know where we will be in life in our future.

is that all you want in life? to not be bottom of the pile?

[sara3]

Duffy?

[Postdog]

Worked all my life (well apart from 2 years), need benefits now because I lost my job last April and have been supporting myself ever since, but all I get is you filled the form in wrong or until you can prove this etc etc. Ruddy Government make it too easy for some and harder for others.

Get dole money and a council house and that's your lot...for life. Any job is better than no job.

[anneasquith]

lets say we all agree with you,then you will be happy, good luck with your studying.

Nice attitude for a future nurse, so caring!
The username is daffy by the way, not duffy.

[boxtops]

Katie's not very polite for someone who only joined half an hour ago.

[muffinpieKatie]

I don't live in a council house

[dotty.]

crikey sara, that's all we can all hope for surely? I know I have a reasonable job, not great, but better than alot, yet as I only have the one salary with no other income, I feel stretched and it is hard to plan ahead.

[daffy654]

The posting style and spelling mistakes are vaguely familiar boxtops.

[sara3]

and Duffy??

[boxtops]

Good singer, sara.

[muffinpieKatie]

Haha I come on here for advise don't for cocky comments

[micmak]

Would you employ this person with her / his command of the English language.

[sara3]

Dot, I'm sure most people WANT more than being just above the bottom of the pile.

[daffy654]

It was having a go at me because I mentioned it's spelling mistakes sara.
