Mel, thats the thing though, i'm not the sort of person to go for that just because i'm on benefits, i buy a railcard every year that saves me money, i cant explain it really but i think i get more than enough from the benefit system to see me through, i'm never in debt with anything and never will be

i think it comes from how my mum brought us up...if you cant afford it then you either save up for it or dont get it at all....

yes i know we arent talking about being in debt, but just because you are on benefits doesnt mean that you have to grab things just because you are on benefits, i dont care what anyone says, the money that the state gives you is enough, if you find yourself struggling then you aren't budgeting right

this is just my opinion, i get my money, i pay my bills, buy shopping, buy clothes if needs be and then after everything has been paid what little is left i try to make it go as far as i can
