> £400/month help with her bills because she struggles with time management? I'm sympathetic to her problems but that is a shit ton of money!
£4800/yr is a shit ton of money? Things must be pretty rough over there!
> Child benefit also goes to lots of people (myself included) who totally don't need it.
Is that a bad thing?
For the average person in the UK, it definitely is.
It's a shit ton of money for the government to just pay to people. I wasn't saying it's enough money to live on or anything. Obviously.
> Is that a bad thing?
The government is just a little short on money and they're wasting it by giving WFA and child benefit to people who definitely don't need it.
This should be obvious.
Right, but they're not, because this isn't what's happening. There's a reason they're paying her. Otherwise you would be getting the money too, but you're not.
