There's a woman who lives not far from us who has 4 kids (by 3 different fathers) ranging from about 6 years old to early/mid 20's. She's never worked since she had kids in her teens and is living on benefits in a large split level 3 bedroom housing association flat. Despite being well educated and coming from an upper middle class family, she's freely admitted to us that she has no intention of ever going to work and will probably have 1 or 2 more children in the next few years. For her having kids and living on benefits is a lifestyle choice and one which clearly pays quite nicely thanks.
