Thats the biggest cop out. my old lady worked two jobs to keep me and my sister with a roof over our head dinner on the table and clothes on our body.
Yes but not everyone can walk straight out of a marriage where they were a homemaker into a job so what do they do in the meantime.
how does posting a topic like this make me a troll? i think its a good thread where people have expressed quite openly there thoughts and feelings about it. whats wrong with it?
You are a troll because you initially said you didn't want to turn this into a fight but you knew that is exactly what would happen.
some people need to be stereotyped. why should some one who earns $100,000 a year not be entitled to the bonus over some one on the dole.
Because they don't need it and to decide to bring a child into the world for a government handout is wrong whether you are rich or poor.
Ever had an apprentice ship? Mate i earnt $220 a week paid rent food water bills everything same as alot of other apprentices plus i actually had to work. didnt get that money for nothing. would of been much easier to get on the dole. this is why i / people get annoyed with people on the dole
No it is not much easier to get the dole, in fact if you are under 24 you have to study now in order to get Youth Allowance
i wasn"t talking about people with disabilitys at all but i do struggle to believe you have been job hunting for six years and in that time youve had 1 job.
maybe you should be less picky about what you want to do.
You don't know her circumstances so you have no right to sit up in your ivory tower and judge
get a new appartment / house. there is nothing wrong with people wanting to make their own lifes better.
What did you not get about rent prices flying through the roof, I can afford the house I am in and I am not going to risk not getting another one when I don't need to.
also "As for poor people crying poor, in my experience it is more often people who are not poor whinging about how hard done to they are. I don't have a problem with being poor and happy than rich, greedy and bitter about having to work every waking moment to pay for my extravagant lifestyle "
that is the bloody problem. why not want to be more than poor?
why can you not be wealthy and happy?
seems like an excuse that a lot of people use so they dont even have to try?
Why do I have to want to be anything other than happy, you don't know anything about me, so don't try and pass your narrow-minded judgement onto me, I have had some very high paid jobs in the past but frankly, I was not willing to sacrifice quality time with my children to maintain them, I am now pursuing what I want to do at university as my children are grown up and I have time to do it and yes I am happy being poor, it makes me appreciate every single thing I strive for and achieve just that little bit more. I am educated and intelligent and could probably be right up there if I wanted to be, but at the end of the day, I am not that ruthless or driven because it is my friends and family that make me happy, not money. I think the world would be a much better place if money didn't exist but that is a whole different subject. I don't think wealth makes people happy unless happiness is measured in material gain which is not real happiness.
its funny i actually had to work over the weekend and wasnt able to get on a computer, sorry about that.
why should this thread be closed?
if topics like this dont get debated and talked about whats going to change.
and there is a definate need for change.
yes or no?
This thread should be closed because it is causing petty squabbles and ill will between people who use this forum to come together for a common love of reptiles, not to air their personal finances and circumstances with the world.
well maybe its time to get a job?
if you spent half as much time on careerone trying to find a job as you seem to spend on this website i can imagen you finding a job fairly quickly.
