So virtually you gain 753 euro a month, which is pretty much the sum I spend on the bills and stuff. Sounds about right. On what basis are you on welfare, if you don't mind me sticking my nose?

Ben's disabled and unable to work, this is only base rate BTW, once they sort out his actual Disability Allowance it's higher. I'm classed as his carer, which mean I will get a payment for that once it's all sorted too.Quote:

My house cost us $330000, to put things in perspective. It's maybe 1600 square feet.
I'd say we spend at least $2500 a month on food--we don't eat out.
My team went 1600 to 70 yesterday in AB, plus it's not rare to see people turning around when they see me and run away :DQuote:

Woah.
Is the food gold plated? $2500 seem a bit ridiculous, lol. I think you added an extra 0. :pQuote:

$2500/month is up there, but definitely not unbelievable for a family of 4-5 in an area like his. $250/month would feed one person well where I live, and where I live is the bottom of the barrel in terms of standard of living. (You can buy a house for $110k with 3 bedrooms, 2 floors, in an "estates" area of housing.)Quote:

He is the type to do precisely that. I know he's a good person. Just like I usually cook community meals on holidays; Valentine's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Free meals, of course.Quote:
