And now I’ve lost my job

Ok, *sigh* here I go again. Firstly, lifelong. I am worried about the two of you guys so please keep me updated. I have replied in another thread to you. But before doing anything drastically, have you considered going to social support to drop the bag of bricks for them to pick up? It is NOT your fault for being fired. I am 29, living with my parents, and find it tough to get, nevermind keep, a job. Notice how so many teenagers work at Burger King and McDonalds? Because they pay them half the wages. Teenagers living with their parents SHOULD NOT be working; They are snatching jobs from desperate individuals who really need to make ends meet and as a de facto, unable to do it. This is again the Pareto principle at hand – 20 percent of the population gets 80 percent of the jobs. They make up all the underaged workers in all these Commonwealth and “developed” nations. So all the difficult jobs remains – and the ones requiring superhuman feat of strength to accomplish. It is easy to get sacked after the first day and feel like you just want to roll over and die. We can all thank the actuarial and economists making poor decisions for the average citizen, aged over 34. And everything is in favour for the new uber baby boomer generation of kids under 18. Us older guys find it hard to get by…

Now, the first thing I would do if I were you two would be to go to social worker and then make a trip to the benefit branch closeby – make sure you state your case and have all the documents ready; you guys are stressed at about making a living and find it hard to even get by. I don’t know your country or system but they should be able to help you with enough to get by. Before doing anything drastic, please first cry for help. Try making a living first. It is your life darnit! Fight for it!

I also live my life beyond closed doors. I study ancient wisdom and live a zen life, drink coffee and listen to music all day. I work harder than most people working 9-5’ers, and I bet so do you guys! Employment doesn’t make the man so don’t feel bedridden because society class you as “unemployed”. I don’t care what people think. I hate people: “Oh, he is living with his parents age 30” I am not afraid to toss a middle man at their sight. I would emphatically ask “what have you done to make me better off than just wining about my misfortune”. Very soon they will shut up when I utter the latter death clause.

Don’t let others point fingers. They haven’t walked in your shoes before so they are don’t have a dog in the fight.

But firstly, please tell me what is on the table for you. What are your options guys? Let’s come up with a plan…
