Yes. There is so much that people can do to help themselves. I’ve turned my personal finances around in the last four months. I’m fine. And I want other people to take responsibility for themselves and turn their lives around. The problem is, dependency is big here. Dependency on welfare benefits is huge, and suggesting anyone take responsibility for improving their own lives is seen as cruelty. What is cruel is not giving everyone in this film a wake up call, issuing them with a job - and employers are paying crazy wages - and tell people to stop having babies that they can’t afford to raise. But nurses can’t afford to live on £27k! I live very comfortably now on £16k. If people mismanage their money, they will mismanage it if they get £50k. Nurses get way more in pay than most people I know, plus paid sick leave, maternity leave, compassionate leave and a generous pension. I don’t. People need to educate themselves about personal finance, stop expecting everyone else to bail them out while they sit on their backsides and take responsibility for their own lives. They will feel better physically and mentally and they will not be poor.

I bet it Will be a disability car

£50 a week I live on £15 electricity, £5 dog meat, £5 Council tax, £20 food and save £5 for emergency. I heat my home free with fire wood collected every time I walk my dog daily I've always known how to live extremely cheap. Transport I cycle and walk. My house is paid for and have no debts. Modern people are lazy most people could live a alternative life if they put there heart to it. There is nothing I want or need in life money I've saved over the years I've built a house in the Philippines where I will retire in 2 years. I've been on disability benefits for 28 years with no other income. It's very easy to live cheap I buy no food unless it's greatly been reduced normally by 75% in super markets.

Many UK households could start victory gardens in their back gardens or public allotments this spring and get free food this way. The climate in much of the UK is ideal for growing potatoes, carrots and cabbages. A person could live very well of a diet of potatoes, carrots and cabbages supplemented with a very modest amount of purchased meat, fish, eggs or cheese for protein and fat. This worked during WWII when food was tightly rationed. During the 1940s many in the UK population became more fit and lost excess weight through a combination of less abundance of fattening fools and a lot more physical activity. There are plenty of gardening hobbyists in the UK who could teach youngsters and unemployed adults how to grow some free food for their own families.

Absolutely right on! I have always felt that the way to freedom from hunger and from the food industry is to grow one's own food to the greatest extent possible. We would all be healthier, weigh less and, often, when people change to a more natural diet, they require less medications for ailments which results in less money out for meds as well.. One can grow food on the stoop and in a window box and just about any container, inside and outside the house.

Yep. My mum used to walk me and my sister around the supermarket to keep warm. Or the museum. Or the library. The libraries have always been used by brits to keep warm. A lot of people hang out there every day and have done for decades as a way of keeping warm. The old reading rooms were used by tramps and other people who were cold. It’s a shame we have not progressed, but we did progress, and then people got over confident and lived beyond their means, and then people thought it was great to get paid for two years without doing anything and now are upset that the economy has crashed and they can’t afford gas.
