£5 x 30 hours = £150 (£135 after tax.)

and its £4.77 is the min wage for my age.

Go and work for Aldi or Tesco, the hourly rate here in Cambridge is about £7.50 p/h for stacking shelves in Aldi in Histon Road.;)

plus the rent and tax paid, which comes to £155 a week. you are actually better off not working you're £20 a week better off already. before you save even more on not having to pay travel costs.

Thats my point for leaving my job after a week. DWP don't understand that I was putting my self in hardship by still working.

I wish it was that simple now. Because of all the recession issue people like asda etc who used to pay a general wage for all staff have dipped down to min wage for people under 21.

ageed ,we could be paying for at least 4 mp's in that house instead, nice and handy for the houses of parliament

When I left my job and applied for Job seekers & Housing benefit I was refused because I left my job at my own accord.

For the past month I have had 0 money from DWP or housing benefit and finding it hard to survive!

People wonder why we are racist against them.

why don't they help people who really need it.

So.... because your job doesn't pay enough,you expect the rest of society to pay your way for you? How about getting a second job? Or a better paid one?

I can't believe you have the cheek to come to this thread,post racist cr.. , when in fact you are no different from the very leechers you so readily criticise... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

my oh my,pls.go back to go and do not collect £200. Game over. :dunce:

I don't wish society to pay my way for me.

I could not afford to pay my bills so if I kept working society would be paying for all the calls + letters to collect money.

Would you work to be left with minus at the end of the week? I don't plan on being a bum. I do look and apply for atleat 5 jobs a day. I dont want to be taken money and going into a JCP.

Anyway I am not the one taken 1600 a week from them. I get NOTHING!

If this attitude is common in your age bracket I am not surprised there are so many unemployed young people....

As much as I do not like the Tories,and least they will hopefully have the guts to sort this benefits mess out.No wonder people have no incentive to work...

David,your posting here is highly ironic..... you and your attitude is just as much a valid reason to reform the benefits system as this family. :argue:

The family that are living in that house would need a very good job to be able to afford the £400 a week rent for a house that suits their needs as a family.

their attitude would be that they can't afford to go to work.

you should lay off the kid ,why should he work for a minus sum when immigrants come to this country and get given houses and money without contributing anything ?
and where has he been racist ?all he said was
"People wonder why we are racist against them." well there's your answer that's why people are racist and untill we stop pandering to immigrants people will continue to be racist

so get off your high horse and stop being such a pompous git :dunce:

Well hardship was the term the adviser said to me at the JCP.

She said I was the 5th person that day to be in the benefit trap.

I see why you want the Tories they seem to be doing something about hardship;

But if you had stayed in your job, you would be able to pay your rent and have a small amount of money left over - now you have nothing.

Wrong.

Rent + council tax + food + bus fairs = way more than £135 a week.

*edit* forgot gas and electric bills

no he wouldn't he wouldn't be able to buy food he is in the benefit trap all to common for people on the minimum wage it's definately a case for overhauling the minimum wage system .Why do young kids get less than older people for doing the same job, working the same hours as far as i'm concerned the minimum wage is a excuse for employers to get cheap labour

Analysing peoples posts gets boring on Mondays. especially when it could be seen as a diversion away from the real spongers ;)

Yes well sorry for not posting all my accounts correctly.

if you wish I can right down all my bills and you can look over?

I like how I get attacked but those idiots who get £1600 seem to have been forgotten about.

ALL I WANT IN LIFE IS A JOB THAT PAYS A FAIR WAGE AND PAY MY WAY LIKE I WAS PREVIOUSLY DOING! AND HAVE DONE SINCE I WAS 16

Do you think its fair that I have been left to starve basicly? and these people get £1600. If anything you should be on my side. You seem more angry at me trying to get a LITTLE help. £60 a week! not £1600 a week!
