what would you think about someone like this ? Do people like this bother you ?

By the way I see you are new to myLot so a very warm welcome to you. Welfare should not be taken advantage of and there are a great many people who should use and don't. I am one without an income for 10 months and I Bless me God, have not gone and applied for benefits to the welfare system. I am trying diligently to earn whichever way possible as I do not want to be part of the system. However as for your question anyone taking advantage of the system should be ashamed as I know a great many people who need it and cannot get it. So for anyone who is on the welfare system they should be making use of their time and find a job, or at least try to.

I've both seen it and been there myself. When the recession hit, I was home on welfare, looking everyday for a job, but not finding anything. I would watch tv when not online, just sit there doing nothing, bored out of my mind. I know people who sit and do nothing all day, it's boring and I don't know how anyone can live like that month to month. I was going crazy after a while, with nothing to do, couldn't go anywhere because I had no money, I did something about it and managed to find a job. There are those, like me, who do make an effort to get off the system, but others who do nothing and drink their money away, those are the ones who don't deserve the money they get from welfare, however little the amount is. It's better to make an effort to change your life instead of wasting it watching tv all day, drinking and smoking.
