best country for benifits?

This reads as though you intend to live off benefits, paid for by people who work, instead of working yourself.


I doubt any country, other than this stupid one, would welcome someone just coming along for benefits, with no intention of working.

The US is stupider. Just make sure you enter via the Rio Grande and have an anchor baby or 10 for maximum rewards.

You know that you are talking about early retirement? A man in his 50s who has not worked for a year is highly unlikely to be offered another job -- ever.

Surely if someone goes to work abroad i.e. on a contract or something they should return to their home country when work is finished or if you can't find anymore work.

I think a benefit system should be for the citizens of that country to claim.

We'd all like to spend winter in Tenerife at someone else's expense.

It's sounds like you are expecting to claim unemployment benefits, sit back and holiday at the tax payers expense.
In all countries you have to adhere to jobseekers rules as in the UK....That includes participating in work experience, actively seeking work and going for interviews. If you are not fluent in the language you will have to attend classes as they will expect a certain level of the spoken language.

Sweeping generalisations there mate. And as for the Queen and other royals, they almost always have official duties to perform when they travel abroad. The only time the Queen is "on holiday' is when she goes to one of her Scottish retreats.

MPs, Councillors, Trade Unionists - they are as entitled to spend their holidays where they like as anyone else. Just because they are on the taxpayer-funded payroll doesn't mean it's a freebie.

When did traces unionists start getting paid by the tax-payers? Last time I looked they were paid for by union members, and union membership is not compulsory. I also don't get the winter in Tenerife, or anywhere else, at anyone's expense.

Well in Portugal the better benefit that you will get is the sun, but sooner you will find, that the sun is not everything.
A couple with one child will never get more that 35€=£25 per month and you don't have any right to working tax.
