I went for a number of years with not having 7$ spare.
didn't have 7 kids, didn't smoke do drugs, had a beer maybe every 2-3 weeks if I could save the cash.
Hell my computer was pieced together from what I found in hard rubbish.
was a sacrifice I had to make to get an education and get a good job and not have to worry about anymore.
Didn't have the luxury of being able to live with parents or get Gov hand outs.
that 7$ would be more than my average daily food allowance.
sure there are some who rort the system, and there always are, but there are more who are genuine cases.
Exactly same as Victorian road laws.
a few people being idiots brought about averaging cameras, speed camera and hoon laws..
