I would prefer not to hear or see you spending your benefits on technology. Is this not for food, rent etc?

I work very hard and pay my taxes accordingly to earn my income so that I can provide for my family and also purchase luxury items if I have anything left..
i am more than entitled to my benefits I only get a low amount compared to people who don't deserve it. So how I spend it is my business and no one else's!

as I said I don't want to know, it's your business so keep it to your self. Benefits are there for you to live on and that's from an ex employee of DWP contracts.

Guys, now let's not get into this. It's gel's choice how he wants to spend the money. It is more important for him to develop the habit of saving.
Cheers BB, appreciate it. Now I am out of this thread.

Because I am on benefits it doesn't pay to have money savings (literally) if you have savings you lose your benefit,

I believe you can have £6,000 in capital (savings) before means-tested benefits are affected, and you don't lose the entire benefit until that figure reaches £16,000, so don't spend up large just because you think you can't put it into savings

yes it's up to anyone how they spend their money. However, I'm not interested in how government money is spent and therefore I would appreciate he would keep this to himself. It's also for Gels benefit as well and would be very prudent for him not to let everybody know.

Not ganging up on Gel, but agree with Series1boy and do not want to be put in a situation over thid issue.

I would prefer not to know.

I might just ask my dad can we swap amps back again thinking about it. I miss 180 watts to my current 170 watts.

Is this a April fools? You wouldn't hear the difference between 170 and 250 watts 🙂

. yes I had my money counted when I have been on benefits and I was below £6,000. I get my money fair and square and see doctors regularly to check up on me and I am doing charity work and am looking for part time work too. I follow the rules and don't cheat. I don't drink or smoke and what spare cash I do treat myself, but I go without other stuff instead.

You got the wrong end of the stick, or maybe I did? Got the impression you thought you weren't allowed to save any money... was only trying to help.
