Post I am very poor. What do :(?
Long story short:


Dad has meltdown over job fucking him around, if he leaves Muzzer and Sizter have to find new jobs (sister already has one but she either stays or gets a new one, or goes) if so, I can't because I'm not 16 yet, but my DLA (Disability thingy income? :S) ends in December. And basically, shit has hit the fan.



In a nutshell:

I'm getting really fucking poor, and fast. WHAT DO? :ohdear:


In an atom:

Money problems | Shit hit the fan.

Can't really help you if I don't know the rest of the story.
What country do you live in?
Why do you get DLA?
There's probably more I should know, but hey, it's almost 2 AM, I'm tired.

Well then, get more welfare, stay in school and get a decent job when you're done.

I'm unsure of what Welfare is but from a quick definition we're not on Welfare :confused:

I am in School like 95% of the time (it dropped to like 60% because of my Ingrowing toenail. Stupid NHS :argh:) and my decent job will probably be £3.50 an hour. Yep. Minimum wage sucks.


And what do you mean my spelling & grammar is on the level of English? 'Damn' as in good or bad?

I meant it as in bad. Also it seems like you do it on purpose, which I find annoying, but that's just me.

If your dad doesn't have a job, and even your sister has to work to make sure you have food on the table, wouldn't that mean you can get welfare?
I don't really know how that works in England, but over here you'll get enough money to at least survive.

He does work, you fool!

We're currently stuck deciding if he should walk from his job or have to keep putting up with them (he went in breakdown mode last night as well).

If he walks, then sister either stays, gets a slightly higher pay, or gets a different job, and my mum has to get a job to help bring in money.

Compared to many people we were well off but job problems have caused us to go into poor mode :<

Yes, and if he chooses to quit, he is eligible for welfare, which means he'd still get something. If you combine that with a working mother and a working sister, you should be fine.

Also, If I am right in assuming this, I think that the 'Welfare' you speak of is known as 'Benefits' here. Just to clear things up, you know..

Probably, yes.
I'm not English, so I wouldn't know really, it's my second language, I just know it exists.
