it is almost like that episode from scrubs, where you can buy your grandparents. when you adopt that pensioner, are you obligated to look after him/her and feed him/her? or is it an optional thing?
Its not really anything offical.wuddie said:it is almost like that episode from scrubs, where you can buy your grandparents. when you adopt that pensioner, are you obligated to look after him/her and feed him/her? or is it an optional thing?

I started a thread about it because its a real issue that should be addressed. And i think if people can help anyone else doesn't matter how insignificant they think it is. They should help, anyone.
That is a rediculous assessment, i get by on less than 400 a fortnight from centrelink and that has to cover rent[heaps of pensioners own their own home], food, bills and i also have to save a bit each week so i can afford textbooks each semester and i live fine. Not really ideal living, i dont have much for luxuries but i get by and thats all they need. If they wanted to live in luxury maybe they should have saved for that.michael1990 said:Grandparents. Which i am assuming you're over the age of 18 or approaching. Your grandparents probably bought a house worth $20 000 that is now worth $500 000 which will explain the assets.
I don't think $280 per week is a lot of money to live on. I mean if you didn't own a house, didn't own a car, didn't have family.
You would be paying $100 per week on rent (assuming they are in housing commission), 2 people $100 per week on food. Getting to the shops and home $10 a week, Water, Electricity $70. Thats there full 'good' enough pension.
Would you be able to live on $280/week for the rest of your life?
What about clothes and such? They wouldn't have any money to spend on things they actually want.
Some of these pensioners are nearly homeless.
