Obviously the money has got to come from somewhere. Where do you want to take it from???

How long did you keep that up for Bob?

 

How much has the price of food gone up since 'a few years' ago.

 

Did you go around to a parents house and eat any meals there?

When i was young and unemployed and no longer living at home, I got a job.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

They only get a pittance as it is, take $47 off that.... I see people going hungry.


A good portion of under 25's still live at home. Their parents pay for them.

Since when is a "good portion" all? Or are you completely unaware how many just view the dole as easy money?

I have a question to all those who do not think that debt should be reduced.

 

Is your credit card maxed out and you can only pay the minimum monthly payment?


I don't have a credit card.

As did most people in that decade poddster. However, times change, it is 2014 now.

 

When my brothers & sister left high school you walked out the door and got a job where ever, if you didn't like it  you quit and went down the street and got another one. Changed by the time I left school (less jobs), even that was decades ago.

 

Those days are long over.

Just 1 week. I ate pretty healthy for that week and no starving at all. 

 

I kept a diary. Now it's probably $30 equivalent I'm guessing. 

 

Only counted once going to mum and dads.

We have never been on welfare and we are not poor and I don't get how some people can't see past their own situation. I have 2 children and I want them to eventually be able to find their rightful places in the world, to be able to support themselves and to be safe.


The cost of living, food, housing etc, has increased dramatically over the past 10, 20 years or so.unemployment is high &I just don't know how some people manage to live now

So, those on the dole should only work where they want to?
