Time to Stop Working so Hard

The other day someone said that poeple on welfare make $535 a month. This information isn't new to me, but having a lot of other things on my mind lately made me put this dollar amount into relation to myself. I only make $265 more than my neighbours on welfare. At first I was upset that I get paid so terribly. But then it became tempting to thinking about actually being on welfare. If I just invested less, I could live the same life style I'm living now, and I'd prolly get subsidies for Uni too. Of course $535 is the absolute bare minimum to live, and the living ain't good. So I don't think I'll do that option, but it's something to think about: more idiosyncrosities of life...
