    Seriously, why wake up to an alarm 5 days a week if you don't "have" to?

    I feel like the only thing stopping people is this weird sense of pride that people get when they have a job, you know?
    :hmmmmmmmm:

    Granted, in some states you're required to show proof that you're at least trying to find a job in order to receive welfare...so in those places it might not be THAT easy to be a total mooch.

    Very interesting. Very thought-provoking. Wow.

    You're living the bare minimum w/ welfare, who wants to just skate by when there's opportunities to be had?

    hmm this is a good point.
    Nah, I'm comfortable, but it's been one of those mornings where I'd rather live off Ramen Noodles for the rest of my life than wake up at 6:30 am every weekday :drakelaugh:

    Also a good point. I guess it's hard to live lavish like you're playing for the Mavericks when your food stamps can only get you Great Value brand Cheerios :hmmmmmmmm:

    hard to support a family and have a good lifestyle without a good paying job

    and thats just excluding luxury, life is 100x different when you have an actual good income (not even great, like 'the rich' people who live in mansions) compared to when you don't.
