I'd kind of need the money to move in the first place? I have nothing in savings and after expenses have $20 left over for the fortnight?

How am I going to afford to move?

 

[runoutofsleep]

you can get assistance from the government to cover rental bonds

rent is not a moving cost

 

[Ritard_]

rent is a my first paycheck from my new job cost

rural australia is gr8 to work in
proven less stress

i leave work at 4:30 and am home by 4:35 (lol u suckers on the m4 etc)

regional centres such as wagga griffith etc have every job the city has, with a much better lifestyle

ur all suckas

Though I prefer the stress and faster life style...

The country is just boring lol.

secure suitable accommodation in your price range

save $20 per fortnight until you can afford a bus ticket to your new home

catch bus

voila you have moved

 

[Ritard_]

hitchhike
sell your car to pay for a bus fare

 

[runoutofsleep]

if you own a car you are fucking SET

 

[runoutofsleep]

in conclusion you are by no means stuck in this purported wasteland of unemployment

 

[scaredytiger]

Seriously, get a loan from centrelink, move into a sharehouse, live forever.

 

[Ritard_]

but first get some better qualifications
install insulation maybe also

 

[iRuler]

Yeah get some better qualifications, maybe go get a degree from uni if you want and try to find some work in the city. You could do one of those cafe courses and centrelink will pay for you, if you have a full licence maybe do a taxi course, again free.

What I can't stand about Centrelink is that they are inconsistent. In the early days of my Youth Allowance, I would report in person so there is none of this "I said, they said" BS that happens during an appeal. One report, it was "Heres my payslips", no questions asked. Next report, sometimes the same person, I get told my payslips are invalid because it was just a tad out of synch and (this is true) tell them to alter my pay. Can anyone realistically expect a lowly ranked checkout operator to order their company to alter the entire pay schedule for me only? It could work at a corner shop, but not at Woolworths. So I've done it online since then.

Also, I made an error in my rent declaration that meant I was making losses instead of them and they were ready to throw the book at me. I hope never to set foot in there for as long as possible. I've actually got an appeals letter written for tomorrow's report as it could be my last for awhile.

i had a massive debt to centrelink because i was reporting incorrectly and so they overpaid me. their pay weeks don't line up with anyone elses so that i have always essentially been reporting what i have been paid before i actually get any money landed into my account. when i called up the office to sort out my debt repayments, the response was "oh don't worry, 40% of students go through this exact problem"

:/

oh and they cut off my payments twice because of a typo in my allowed time to complete my double degree
