I do not like when able-bodied people get things that I have to work for, for free

I try to be grateful for what I have, food, water, shelter.

I try to be grateful that I have remained employed throughout the pandemic.

But I can't help but think: I'd probably have more if I didn't work.

I.e free food- extra snap/food stamp benefits ( I do not & have not ever in life received them).

Free money ( child credit- $200-300 [u]per child per month[/u]) just for having a child.

Unemployment and housing help.

Pretty sure these folks incomes is greater than mine, yet they don't even have to lift a finger.

Apparently I'm doing something wrong🤷‍♀️

Maybe meet some of the people and see what goes on in their lives that they need some assistance.

@HannahSky not sure where you live but this is what's going on in America, as a response to covid...I already know what's going on...free money for everyone except working people with no children. What do I get?🤷‍♀️

@iamnikki You sound bitter. I'm in the US too. It's been incredibly hard for people. This hasn't been a free pandemic.
You like everyone else should have gotten those stimulus checks, unless you're making over a certain amount and then probably don't need it.

@iamnikki What do you get...
The pride of knowing you stood firm and faced the challenges head on that others couldn't/wouldn't.

@HannahSky 2 stimulus checks...yippee. You sound like you're benefiting from all the handouts. Congratulations

HannahSky · F

@iamnikki I'm saying you're going on about free stuff and yet you cashed your checks I'm sure..you took it

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@HannahSky I didn't cash any check, it appeared in my bank account. Was I supposed to give it back? You accepted yours too I'm sure.

@iamnikki You can give it back.

HannahSky · F

@iamnikki magically appeared because you gave them your bank info either when you filed taxes or checked for your stimulus check.
You don't know what people have gone through during this time. You should feel lucky you had a job and that you weren't forced to wait in line for hours to get food for your family.

HannahSky · F

@iamnikki like @SW-User said, give it back then

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@HannahSky yea, I get that, and I do know what people went through. Take care!
