                    Hi sounds a odd question. But i am just recovering from an illness. But i am currently looking to go BR or dro.
I am keen to get back to work for my sanity and pocket, but as i am starting to make token payments i dont want all my money to go to the debtors.
it does sound wired to ask should i work.

            And looking at your past posts...you'd not be able to do a DRO as your debts are £17,000
 and I agree with DJ....IF bankuptcy was an option then your creditors would get a percentage of what money you had over £99 a monthWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0

            I agree.
 Your decision to work should be based on you ability to do so and as such is a completely separate issue to your BR/Debt problem.0

            Yep, agree with the others, you should try and get a job if you can.0

            Yep, i agree with the others. Given you've spent £500 on cloths for work, maybe you should use your investment wisely.
 Good luck with the job hunting xxDebt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

            Yep, definitely work, nothing worse thasn sitting at home all day with no money and nothing to do that is meaningful. Work is a "free" way to have a social life. Most people need money for leisure time. There will be a few people who talk about the best things in life being free, which they are, but they are easier to enjoy with some spending money! Remember only a proportion of your disposable income goes to the receiver. 0 0
