In every socio-economic group people manage their finances differently, when I was teaching there were members of staff who lived from one overdraft to another and were happy to do so.
When my daughter had to claim benefits she ensured that she and her daughter were fed yet others on the same level of benefits didn't.
It's not as simple as throwing money at the problem it's about attitude, whether we like it or not there are those who think it's everyone else's responsibility to look after their family.
At the moment there are a lot of people in dire financial straits through no fault of their own becuase of the pandemic and they deserve our help but the problem is much bigger.

allenlondon "Question Author It would be nice if some of you would step out of your 'I'm all right jack' bubbles, your 'everything's alright if only these lefties would stop wingeing', your 'people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps' mentalities and see that society has deteriorated, largely thanks to Thatcher and her goons, from a caring place of sharing people to a bear-pit where the winner takes all and the losers can go to hell.

I just absolutely do not think that is true, or ever has been. Through my life my family and I have been both givers and receivers of kindness under very different circumstances and in different parts of the country and actually different parts of the world. We aren't especially "good" or "lucky". Yes we have met nasty folk, selfish folk, bullies, cheats and criminals but they have been in the absolute minority.

//how do you feel about Food Banks giving bags of food to their workers?//
Whhere did you get that from Naomi? A few years ago, I volunteered at a food back (cut short, as I found work shortly after). The only time anything like that happened was with expired food which couldn't legally be distributed to the public.
