It might not be to everyones liking but for all we know the OP could have spent the rest of his money on maybe getting a CV done up, buying clothes to impress at an interview etc....... Although I cant imagine he did but we dont know that.

Esel wrote: » seanybiker said "...the OP could have spent the rest of his money...". Anyway, €10 is easily spent on a CV (paper, binding, etc.)
macquarie wrote: » Yeah but I highly doubt this €10 made the difference between the op buying some paper (and seriously who gets their CV binded, how many pages is yours??) anyway most CVs are sent electronically now. I doubt the op had to make a choice "Ok €10 left, will I buy paper or drink .....hmmm .... drink it is". Give him a break. If we were allowed dictate exactly how our PRSI is spent and what it is spent on, then I would agree with the government enforcing how SW payments are spent also. But that's not the case.

The guy gets 200 bills a week to spend as he sees fit. You really think a tenner to himself is extravagant? Anyone but the most unenlightened know he's not "spending your money", but that he's a victim of those (with jobs - very high paying jobs) who have bumbled and yet somehow colluded to drive this country into the ground. No, stick him in the fcuking gulags. Fcuk off with your self-righteous ranting. OP, Lidl or Aldi should see you right. Salut!

It for the person to maintain a basic standard of living. And don't give me the thing about spending it on his poor kids and all that. Yeah, for all I know, he might have, but for all you know, he didn't and the tone of his post was asking how best to get smashed on his dole money. Sorry, I will NOT be persuaded that I should be accepting of this sort of post.
Aoifey! wrote: » Well by your attitude I'm guessing you have never been in the situation where you had to rely on the dole? Have never had any experience of how sad your life can feel when you have nothing to do but sit at home all day, maybe some enjoy this but quite a lot are forced into it by circumstance. And in no way would I compare a new car to spending a tenner a few drinks, what car are you getting for 10 euro?!
Copper23 wrote: » Exactly, you are guessing... please do not guess or make presumptions about my personal finances or situations without knowing anything about me. I mean really, yeah fair enough, someone buys themselves something for a tenner out of the dole... big deal... I know, it's hardly worth discussing. But the point here was a post was made asking how to get smashed using his dole money. Nobody has yet rationalised to me in this thread why I should get a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart about this... if someone needs the dole then I have no problem with that, people should be able to get it when needed and carry on life as normal as they can. But posting here somehow being proud or boasting about taking the money and using it to get smashed doesnt exactly instill me with a lot of faith in the person being the sort to only spend a tenner on themselves and scouring the town for jobs, attending courses, classes, reading some literature to help them gain some skills, etc, every other minutes. It sets the tone that they are happy to sit there drinking away our tax money... sorry argue it whatever way you want, that is how this particular person came across more so than anything else and I certainly won't be encouraging that attitude. Also... to be honest, I DO know what its like to be at home for any length of time and it certainly thought me that spending my time drinking was probably the least healthy or productive thing I could possibly have been doing with my time.
