This whole post is worthy of quote. Hilarious!Hello !
So many replies to a simple thread.
My solution was answered in the first few posts. The benefit calculator has helped a lot. Thank you.
But after ready all the replies here. I must go on to give my own opinion to some of the responses here.
Firstly, income, work, career and taking on extra training / study. These are some of the suggestions mentioned above. Now i don't know much about what everyone does here, but working 7 days a week doesn't appeal to me. The word "boss" actually means that person is in charge of you, you been the slave, the word worker actually means robot. (Google) i refuse to be a slave or a robot. I don't need to be Rich, i just need enough to survive on and if i can get help with that its good for me. I am happy to work part time. The only reason i work full time is because i have to as i live with parents. However when i move out i may drop to part time as it suits me better.
The kind of person i am:
Am not a people person, people out side / customers / my work place chat to me and to be fair am just not interested. People who know me get to know what am like pretty quick and eventually stop bothering me, i like that. Am more than happy on my own, watching tv, go out on my bike / running and play on the computer. Money does not motivate me. I don't need to go traveling, i can view places on google, eat at the Chinese restaurant down the road and then skype random people in any country i like. Why bother working to spend 50 weeks working just to have a week or two holiday ?? I personally don't see the point of that. Work wise, i hate getting up for work at stupid o clock, specially when its cold, am always the last one in to work and the first one out.
Am not going to study or take any evening classes, this also costs money, to train up to be again a slave for someone else. Its like been programmed to do the work for someone else to profit more than yourself, i.e the investors, company owners and the like. No thank you. I soon get bored, so sticking to something i like is very hard indeed. Thus working for myself will soon become boring. I do t like doing the daly grind. The same thing just different say, it happens with all jobs. And even if it doesn't i just not interested in the people around me. I have tried to change and get on with people but always fail. Getting up on a morning and working gets me down and i feel unhappy. I like to do what i want to do each day. I am not depressed, i am more than happy doing my own thing, and not been told what to do or having any pressure put on to me. I hate pressure , therefore i really don't qualify for many jobs. You can only assume correctly that my chance of promotion at my work place is a no go area. You are not payed to do a job, you are payed also to act, speak and move how the boss sees fit. Thats not for me !
So now you know a bit about me, you will know that the idea of working oversea, and living at my work place makes me feel sick, and the idea of actually owning a home and having 90k plus of debt would make me feel suicidle.
Women:
As for women. In my opinion, Women are here to reproduce, not to work, not be more successful than a male, but to look after kids. The male does the work. The troubble is women are been given too much power, they now choose the male, they now have the money and work to be independent and leave the male. They also use sex as a weapon. This in all slows down reproduction. The women should stay at home.
I dont agree that women choose a male, the male should choose the women. And thats exactly what i do. A successful business women may not choose me, but i would not choose her for reasons i have mentioned above. The kind of women i choose are low on self confidence, don't have much a d wont have much, the kind of women who agrees the man takes control. They are less likley to leave also. I am happy to settle down with this type of women.
The buesiness women look nice yes, with there boots and skits ect, but i don't choose them for a relationship. At the end of the day they have to let their hair down, weekends in the clubs, when they have one too many and thats when you take advantage of the sort. And thats all thats needed to be fair. The ones that i settle with are ones who don't have an answer back. Its common phycology to be honest. So saying that a women wont look at me in my 30 / 40 years is a joke. I don't relay on them looking at me or wanting me, i take the ones who need me because they have nothing else. Win win.
The kind of friends i have and my social circle was mentioned. My social circle is make up of quiet, low self esteem people, i stand out with them, hence i attract girls that are also like that.
As for the car, i need the car at the moment, but when i get my own place i will probably ditch it. Or buy a ten year old run about.
Honesly the comments on extra income and jobs and training made me laugh. Some people must be working so,e right hours and then they moan because they pay too much tax !!! No body is forcing anyone to work ! If you decide to go to uni or other study and have it programmed in to you to work for other peoples benefit that is your own problem.
Just my opinions there.
Thank you for the replies and the help.
I think we can sleep comfortably knowing that Simon will not be fostering, or indeed having a partner to foster with, for a long long time0 -
In an already mad job I would love to be his assessing social worker......:DMama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.0

I can't believe I fell for the thought that this person was seriously interested in fostering.
I agree with you gizmo, I too would love to be the assessing sw. I think he needs a sw himself. He certainly seems confused!!!I love a bargain. Now mortgage and debt free. hurray!!:smileyhea0
