    What would you want benefits for? Do you work?

    I was going to ask the same - £40,000 is enough to live on for a couple of years - at least until you manage to find a job. The country is in a bad enough state as it is. Sorry if I seem annoyed, but we are working our fingers to the bone to get a decent income and you ask a question like that!

    Benefits are there purely to support people that would starve or be homeless otherwise.
