[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2386071, member: 1242"] :scratch: I must have been doing something wrong because when I was on welfare I didn't have money to do anything but pay my bills and keep my kids fed ... And barely enough to do that most months. God help me if I had an unexpected expense (like a sick kid that needed to go to the doctor) or a car expense ... Or if my mom "borrowed" my car and brought it back to me on empty, which she did quite frequently until I finally just started leaving it on empty and putting $3 in it whenever I needed to go somewhere ... And even after I got off welfare and was among the working poor, I STILL didn't have enough money to play around. Because I was too "rich" for assistance but still not making enough money to cover basic expenses like daycare, I worked two and three jobs at a time ... Of course, if I hadn't been paying my mom to babysit the kids when I worked that night job it might have helped but ... hey ... Never let it be said my mom ever let me take advantage of her in any way ... :rolleyes2 I knew plenty of women (and a few families) who were like me. Not everyone who is on "the dole" is scamming the system ... Would you guys throw the baby out with the bathwater? [/QUOTE]
