I'm actually using this time to be smarter with my money and not take things for granted, I haven't been disadvantaged, I haven't stockpiled, I did buy an extra slab on two different visits to put away just incase the bottle shops close for any length of time but as a whole I'm trying to distinguish how much money I actually used to waste each month.
I like a beer, I like a punt and I love going to the pub, it's going to be interesting to see the difference now as whenever I had a win I'd take the missus out for dinner, go to the shop the next day to buy her a dress or some perfume, some shit for the house and a couple of things for myself, I can't do any of them anymore.
This 100%
I've found I've been far more stringent with my finances, and get ahead more on utilities etc.. feel like i'm under enormous stress to make sure that
a) I can keep functioning, keep my job and maintain for my family
b) if I lose my income that i'm not in a position of despair and up shit creek
c) prepared for the no doubt monster electricity bill that'll come from everyone being home full time.
So many long term dole bludgers though think Christmas has come early - can buy their booze or their yarndi or some video game and waste the days away doing sweet FA.. and in a few weeks time they'll still be in the same position, not disadvantaged in any capacity - if fact still getting paid more than usual.. still handing out financial advise, laughing at the rest of us, posting rubbish crap on social media, claiming everyone is over reacting blah blah ******* blah.
Anyone whose been on "job seeker" for 9 months + or are students on ABStudy/AUStudy DO NOT DESERVE AN INCREASE IN INCOME!
**** em all.
