What wage to earn but still get help with rent

And it sounds to me like what is now clearly an illiterate troll has got their way. Now posters are turning on each other and he or she doesn't even need to stir the pot. What a great result. Let's all criticise each other for the amount of time we do or don't work, the number of children we have, and if we try really hard we could probably find someone with a disability to pick on too.


For the record, I am shocked that Toomuchdebt has been made to feel the way she has, but isn't it great that everyone else has never once in their lives made a mistake, had a error in judgement, or been let down by someone else? Yes, Toomuchdebt may be claiming benefits - that does not make them a sponger and it does not remove their right to have an opinion. They aren't the one on here asking how to avoid work, or demanding a right to benefits because they once paid tax.

I agree with this completely. It sounds like toomuchdebt is trying to do all she can without relying on benefits too much but still making sure her kids don't go without. I applaud you. The benefits system is for people like her who have put in and now need to take out when they're in need. My dad recently had to sign on after being made redundant from his job of almost 30 years and he felt terrible about it, even though we told him he had more than paid his share into the system so was perfectly entitled to use it.

The comment about "how many dad's to the 6 kids" - absolutely ridiculous. You're trying to paint her as something she isn't to validate your general opinion.
