If you were unable to find a job despite your best efforts, and you had $235 a week to live on, how much would you spend after rent/mortgage on food, health, medications, phone, transport, gas, electricity, incidentals, insurance, etc. How long could you keep going? Is a human being who cannot find employment over a very lengthy period entitled to any leisure at all? <br /><br />Also, anyone reading your post may get the idea that you have inside knowledge that the writer of this blog is a drinker, smoker, pay TV sucker, or unemployed. Wrong on all counts. She is something even worse: a latte-quaffing chatterer.DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362720961660684331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936746.post-86432378388136362552011-01-27T19:40:51.328+11:002011-01-27T19:40:51.328+11:00Sorry been busy at work helping people, it is our ...Sorry been busy at work helping people, it is our most frantic time of the year. <br /><br />I fail to see how preparing a budget relates in anyway to the comment I made. <br /><br />As I said and I stand by it, if you want pay TV, ciggies and alcohol over food, rent and bill paying, you need to be accountable for your choices, not the government, not the support agencies or anyone else. <br /><br />Simply... yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13936746.post-31857576473265898542010-12-13T09:55:56.908+11:002010-12-13T09:55:56.908+11:00Dear Anonymous,
