I've had to go on a benefit for a month or 2 for my depression and stress, got my first payment today and it was 180 dollars 馃拃, Then I went in to work and income to talk to them about it and they just treated me like I was a bacteria just tryna leach money off them like bro my rent is 200 a week(400 my girlfriend pays half) what the fuck am I suppose to do with 180 dollars I also have a loan I can't cancel which 90 a week so there goes half my money, there reasoning was my girlfriend makes 900 dollars a week(she makes 700) And then she had a rage at me because I didn't know she had to declare her money, bitch no one told me do I look like a mind reader. Then she says young people get less and I asked why and she just said because that's how it is like wtf i've been paying 600 bucks tax each week for the last 2 years and now I need some help from the government I pay tax to they just expect me to starve, fuck knows what I'm gonna do when the power bill comes guess I'll just have to rush into another shitty job even though I haven't fully healed from my addiction(I've been sober from everything for a month) first time iv'e been completely sober and I just want some time to get my mind back in a good spot but they just force people like me into work which is gonna ruin my mental health more. She was treating me like I was just there trying to scam money out of them, Like bitch I'm not starving to death because you guys are greedy (Im committing tax fraud when I own my own business they can suck a fat dick)

Ugh Australia is the same. I was denied assistance after moving interstate because I lived with my partner at the time who was on six figures. Like okay but that's his money, not mine. The people who need it get jack shit and those who just spend it all on drugs and alcohol get like $800 a week. It's fucked.
DiamondsArentForever Frl I know a guy who I was friends with when I drunk heavily who gets 200 a week because he lives with his parents then he goes and spends it all on drugs and alcohol making no effort, I hated the government before this experience I now hate them even more, exactly like why should my partner have to take financial cuts because of me i wish I just told them I was single at this point because this is so stressful, I'm just gonna start looking for a part time job tbh will be better then this, The government has money for tearing up roads and to help the farming community here but not for the people who genuinely need help god knows what I'd do if I didn't have good family who can help probably be living on the street
