1) Benefits on offer to the "wont work" are far too generous if an

systematically reduce benefits for the fit and healthy the longer they
are on benefits.


I'd love to see the likes of you live on 7.50 an hour. But it will be the
usual 'don't do as I do, but do as I say'.


1200 per month, perhaps 1000 after taxes

3-400 on a room in a shared house

6-700 for other expenses

seems perfectly adequate to me

When starting out in your career that's what you have to do

and yes it IS what I did
