Does living on benefits scare you?

Yes, because, in my case, and i'm only speaking for MYSELF. it would mean either i'm disabled or so sick that i am unable to work and take care of myself. I'm a workaholic. So that would be very scary for me.

Given the modern tendency of people to scaoegoat or look down on those less fortunate than themselves, yes I probably would be anxious to claim benefits.

I am not on benefits.
Though I retired early because my new boss was an absolute a*sehole I decided to retire.
Still 4 years away from official retirement date thus no pension available until then.
Rather that go on benefits, which is a degrading system here in Australia I have decided to live off my savings, then claim the old age pension in 4 years time.
I have ample funds to see me through to that time.

I never have

No.. i never have tho
