$405 a week?
yes, i still have it. it’s paid for and it’s just parked for now. having 1 or 2 or 5 cars is unrelated to a job situation.
^ Keep telling yourself that
yeah, its not balling by any means, but its livable
if you arent smothered by a huge mortgage and you own your cars, and arent paying huge CC bills, it is a livable amount for many.
Agreed.
It’s not bad money for doing nothing. Lots of people abusing the system though. And it shouldn’t be fucking 90 fucking weeks or whatever it is. It should be like 3 months.
yea, it is. but it greatly varies person to person. i dont have high CC bills and cars are paid for, but theres still other things i have to pay for that i cannot do without, like insurance and meds or doctors visits and such and it takes off a LOT off that 400, excluding tax as well. its different for everybody.
yeah its pretty outrageous how long the benefits are now.
true i work with plenty of guys who live way beyond their means cuz of the money they make in the summer they think hey i have all this money now i can buy stuff but in reality you have to use that money to live all yr
omg yes i think 5 months that covers the seasonal workers in case of a bad winter and thats more than enough time to find a job!
