Its not economical for ME to do so at all. Other people may have
different circumstances, but I have to work to pay the bills.

I am able to attend volunteer meetings, pay for parking etc because I
give up other things to do so. I don't go out - dont have a video etc
etc. This account I am using is not my own. etc etc.
If I get something for us, its because like everyone else, I've saved
for it.

It beats the heck out of me how anyone can 'have babies just to get
social security' - I just can't see how its possible.

And anyway, I like to work :) I was unemployment once and once was
enough.
I also like to help people out as much as possible, even if it is a
little bit of a strain on finances.
