Youth allowance etc - all the different schemes out there available to us.. (1 Viewer)

[dfm]

so, im not over 25 and im not aborginal which means i cant get austudy or abstudy..
i kno about the one where if youre 90 minutes from uni by public transport you get given like $500 per fortnight or something, but i dont qualify for that either...

what are the other schemes out there??

 

[hiphophooray123]

yeah i think you can find that info on INTHEMIX.COM

 

[quik.]

Found it really weird but apparently i don't qualify for anything, single parent family and full time study didn't rake me in government dollars.

Woe.

 

[AlleyCat]

Yeah well I'm living away from home, paying my own expenses, rent, everything and I'm studying full time and working two jobs...

...Don't get nufin.

Suck it up.

well you chose to suck.

 

[AlleyCat]

well you chose to suck.

I fought with my parents who decided to go the familiar emotional blackmail route and "cut me off" if i decided to move interstate.

I called their bluff and lost, but there is absolutely NOTHING they can do to control me now, and once you start paying your own way, you'll realise that the comfort of a protected life is not worth the trade-off.

I wouldn't accept their money now if they did offer it (which they wont), because although my parents are wonderful people, they just get so stifling.

This year I think I can get youth allowance though, as I have earned enough to be considered independent.

 

[Bookie]

....cool story.

good luck with it, youre awesome <3

 

[AlleyCat]

Thankoo, baby!
Much <3 reciprocated. Hey what's up with this holiday? Cos I really need a break from stuff here right now, and I think a 5 day binge with quasi-strangers might be just the ticket...

 

[Bookie]

i was never going. ask nolan

 

[stazi]

since im lazy, how much do u have to earn to be independent.

 

[stazi]

oh gh3y.

 

[stazi]

No, that's only for kids that get raped/beaten by their parents.
Mine are just lame prudes. That's not a good enough reason apparently.

Just work full time in the holidays and part time all throught the year and you'll make the money pretty soon without thinking about it.

$17,500 over 18 months is just $250 per week. Surely a boy like you can make that in one blue evening... <3

Well she's a pretty girl.
That's, like 1 high end full body massage with happy ending,
or
25 truckstop hand-jobs.

from personal experience, a truckstop hand-job nets me about $20.
