Someone at work said poor people are poor because they can't manage money well. I said they don't have much to manage, but he was convinced he was right. ๐

All these so-called charities only pass on a small percentage of donations. Their admin costs use up most of the funds. Salvation Army are the 2nd wealthiest, following the Catholic Church.

I want to one day get a big block of land in a rural area and get a bunch of these women and build some housing and grow own vegetables, have some chooks, etc. Like a little community supporting eachother sounds funny but its my dream.

He went crazy that I had another account and put money in that and demands its returned to the main account. Now I'm getting the silent treatment.

Not everyone is able to work, disabled for example . Poor health, can't find a job, ageism etc. There are many reasons people can't work.

What language used to describe the accusers!!! "Shockingly salacious shes", "wanton", "females", "depraved women", "looking for trouble", "prostitute".....the men are not described negatively at all.

The last generation to live like that ended up hooked on "mothers little helpers" to survive their 'meaningful' lives chained to the kitchen sink.

The cost of necessities is never ending but he is one step away from saying how dare poor people buy something nice. There's nothing wrong with buying fun things, why should only the wealthy be allowed to buy anything that's not strictly a 'necessity '. ๐

Caught up with a friend 4 lunch today. That's a big step for someone with social anxiety. I was thinking of starting a meet up support group thing in Melbourne for people over 40 with anxiety. Just to go 4 walks in a park or other low cost activities.

Wow, that's awful. I volunteered with them years ago, and we couldn't keep up with the number of calls. It was exhausting too, and then we had to document the call afterward.

Studies show that hot weather leads to deterioration in mental, as well as physical health. Not only in those with pre existing mental health conditions but anyone can be affected.

Who has done something really stupid when they're very tired? I have. I put rice in the cooker without putting in the bowl. At work I poured boiling water in the coffee jar instead of my cup. ๐ตโ๐ซ

Anyone can get sick and end up disabled. There's no more sickness allowance and it's nearly impossible to get DSP and since lifting the retirement age there will be many in their 50s and 60s who won't get hired due to their age. The system is becoming more cruel.

Woolworths delivery offer the nearest replacement if what you order isn't available. My mum ordered bananas and got a replacement which was a bag of dessicated coconut. Today instead of sausages, these were replaced with 2 limes. ๐คช

I Don't think its the WFH as the city is often very busy. I think they're just over priced and don't offer good value 4 money and there's too many cheaper and better quality options around. The cost of living is higher now & they're too greedy & they failed 2 adapt

I was on Centrelink in the 90s and there were no mutual obligations or agencies. It was enough to live on too. I was able to find work for myself as that was easier then too.

A woman of 70 told me recently that being older has given her power to speak up and make waves and she certainly uses this to her advantage. I work with her, and no one else has the courage she does. She said "age is power". She's certainly not invisible.

You know I was getting job seeker in the mid 90s and it wasn't much less than people get now, but things weren't so expensive back then so I was able to live on it. Even then it still fell short but I can't imagine how anyone could live on it these days. It's impossible.

Don't depend on anyone else for your happiness. It should come from within. A partner is good but certainly not the most important aspect of life.

Ocean Beach. Mornington Peninsula. No others on the beach & lots of little sea creatures living in the rocks. Very rough water, go in ankle deep to get a whole body splash.

Thats horrible. Hopefully a psychiatrist can offer him support to get the help he needs both in terms of mental health and getting jsp off his back. Yes I encourage you to complain thats disgusting thing to say.

If a house is empty, why not open it up to homeless? If someone is wealthy enough to do this, they shouldn't care if squatters go in it as they're not using it themselves so how will affect them?
