i'll never do that, ever

Ans why is that??? That is exactly what they are for.. People that are working but cant seem to make ends meet. Thats nothing to be ashamed of, and thats what we pay taxes for.

Something to be ashamed of is those that have extra kids and such to get these benefits indefinitely.

Stay @ home. Its not worth the money to be 'free' from your parents.

I am 21 and live @ home. Go to school and have a night job. Its not bad at all. I dont pay for home cooked meals, I dont pay rent, or insurance. Just my stuff, and my stuff only... So basically phone/caraudio/fastfood/gas/random BS

living @ home FTW

other expenses (aka alcohol)-$alot

This is for a 5 bedroom house with everyone paying their own share so utilities really aren't that bad.
