£73.10 a week to live on

[abacucat]

If you are single and on statutory sick pay or unemployed, this is what you get a week to live on. You will also if you have savings below £16k get help with rent and council tax, although you are unlikely to get all your rent paid, so will have to make a contribution out of the £73.10. That is the grand total of your entitlement.
So my AIBU is, I am AIBU to get annoyed about people who are well off and have no idea how little many people manage on?

I've been in both positions. A single out of work in-between jobs so only couple of months at a time and now working parents with family. I can honestly say it felt easier on jobseekers even though I also had to contribute towards my mortgage as you don't get housing benefit towards this. SS there was only myself to look after and budget for even though it was dire it wasn't nearly as downheartening as working full-time,having more outgoings ( travel commutes children's needs etc) and finding dh wage only just covers our dd bills ( that's not including all food, clothes, toiletries petrol car costs school trips pocket money etc etc.) we live off weekly tax credit top ups. That's less than 73.10 pw for family of five.

@nightgremlin I thought you were coming up with a really deep metaphor. Perhaps the worst part is that I could see where you were coming from :')
