Does the average 22 year old? What about unemployed person? So I should move out and get a council house just on the off chance anyone thinks I'm burdening my mum, I should pointlessly burden the state?

Now let's look at it this way. Currently unemployed with £52 a week and no more, which is used to buy all the food I eat and everything I do.

So I'm clearly not living off mum, but simply living with my parents. I don't recieve money from them, I in fact pay them money.

What would you do with your 18-22 year old daughter?

Someone should talk to my step brother - 35 years old and living with my dad and his wife. Doesn't have a job and the only job he has ever had was working in his mum's shop. He got married earlier this year and his wife has now joined him at my dad's. Dad is not happy as he toild him he would need to get a job and support his wife. But he still hasn't and his mum won't make him do anything. On top of that he got a £250 driving day for his birthday. I got a card yesterday from my dad with £20 in it. Now i'm not complaining about the 20 quid as I don't mind, but surely it should be the same for all the children.

On the plus side i think his wife will go out to work as soon as she can, she is a sensible girl, but what happens when they have children? my poor retired dad will have to share his life with his step son and his family too. :angry:

See this is where the dumb bit comes in...

Someone is providing and funding a roof over your head... Its not just about the food you eat and the things you do. Do you not turn on the heating ? run a bath ?...

Grow up pogo...

Young, DUMB and living of mum :)

:rolleyes:

Because you failed to address the points made, I'll repeat them in a simplier way again...

If I was unemployed and living on my own, with increased benefits being an obvious point to make, what would the difference be on what I have to pay out?

Given that the heating, water, etc would be the same if I was there or not, considering I pay a bit towards that, surely my parents are better off with me there?

Now that's dealt with, if my parents funded my lifestyle I would be living off them. Considering they don't them that means I'm not.

Are you going to continue being stupid or will I put it down to sleepless nights?

If he pays £200 a month I would be surprised going off what he said in other threads...

Also, he is on job seekers... He is apparently paying for all his own food... So £51.85 a week - ALL his food (£30 ?) - doing stuff (£10 ?) = £11.85 left for his mum ?

I call shenanigans :)

i was looking a while ago in livingstn and the cheapest was about £300 but that was shared accomodation. so pointless for me, i'd rather share with my folks than complete randoms.

cheapest decent place here is about £500 for a single bedroom flat.

Jesus christ, surely you can go and have sex with your wife or something rather than talk over my personal financies. Ampersand - you can do the same but with your hand.

On a side note - Yes you can get rent for under £400. I'm looking at several places in Glasgow that works out much much cheaper than that.
