No, I don't know the life circumstances that led anyone to "choose" to be on benefits and the majority of people who are on them do need them and aren't exactly living an extravagant lifestyle. I know for some people they can get more money as well as more time with their children if they are on benefits so it doesn't even make financial sense for them to work if they don't want to so of course they should do that šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I won’t say hate but I do know a few ppl who are very much so able bodied and refuse to work and expect others to financially provide for them and it rubs me the wrong way bc they act entitled to it . I am not referring to a parent I am referring to someone who stays home and just games the entire day and has other family members fund their life

If you're on benefits but not working the government has to approve of what you're doing in the meantime, guess what one of those things are? Parenting.

Mind your own employment status, mind your own wallet, mind your own family. If you aren't in a position to help, then you aren't in a position to judge either.

If someone chooses not to because they can get more money from benefits than working and paying for nursery then go get that moneyyyyy. If they are living alone no kids and just can’t be arsed to work at all then yeah they’re a bit of a dick.

I do not assume to know everyone's situation, especially working as an advocate. I don't hate anyone. The amount of people who actually abuse the system is so small and this stereotype really hurts people who actually need assistance.

Your very misinformed.
You can't just be on benifets for the sake of it..

If you are required to work then the job centre will be on your back making sure you are looking for work full time or in full time work.. There is no such thing as being able to be on benifets because you prefer it.
That's not how the system works. If you have children they allow you not to work up until they are 3 years old but by the time they hit 1 they are on your back and you have to go to regular appointments to do cv planning or to look for work and the closer they get to age 3 the more you go in and responsibilities you have.
The only time you can stay in benfiets without responsibility is when you have a disabled child and you are their full time carer AGAIN you need alot of proof for this and you are litreally busy looking after a child with extra needs.

Please educate yourself before saying such things or having hate for people for no reason.
Also being on benfiets your surviving, not having a luxury life.

It pisses me off when people on benefits are going on holiday & dressing in designer but because I have a job I’m not entitled to any help from the government even on piss low maternity pay

Yeah they can’t just choose to be unemployed and get benefits. That’s not how that works.

Another rage bait post. And again, put themselves under incognito.

Im on benefits. I have two kids. I’m a SAHM. BUT, I’m now 31, worked since I was 13, before I had my daughter I had a job for 10 years in the same place and moved up 5 different job roles, but my mental health went down and the business was not the same and did not care. I handed in my notice, fell pregnant and hadn’t returned to work since. My husband works, but we can’t afford nursery for two children for my to work full time and actually see a benefit from my wage.

I’d be very careful on how you word things, and especially before you know people’s circumstances to assume that they are just lazy and want to stay home to ā€˜eat’ (which may I add is ridiculous)

Yes some people are on benefits and spend all their money on crack or some shit but you cannot class everyone as that.

Money

What are some ways y'all make money?? I use freecash and it worked great when I was pregnant but with a 5 month old I don't have the time to play these games all day to hit the goals. I've tried baking but I have a Velcro baby and I cannot physically sit there and let her cry. It makes my skin crawl partly bc I feel bad and partly bc the noise spikes my anxiety. It's not like we need the money my mil and fiance both have jobs but I would really like to find a way to make about 100 a month at least to help pay off our like 2k of debt, finish paying off my mil's car first bc it's cheaper and then start working towards a down payment on a house. It's a slow process ik but i want to put something towards helping pay everything off and hopefully get it paid off sooner.

Fitness/Gym Rat šŸ€

Hi! I’ve been into getting healthy since last year because I woke up and took my life back

That said, is it common that legs are the first noticeable part to getting toned/leaner?

I know the stomach is last to go if it ever does but just thought to ask fellow fitness or gym goers šŸ«¶šŸ»šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·
