Well that's for working class families anyway.

with respect Mock, wages were very low a few years ago, there was none of the minimum wage safety net then. I think saying things were better in the old days is a long, long way from the truth, and I'm speaking as someone who has been in a work environment for more than 30 years.

I know what it's like in this time as the only times that I can spend my money on anything that I want is on my Birthday and Christmas time.

Tbf I don't have a job like Amy Jade does so I'm even more sympathetic towards her as she's working for what exactly? Just to pay for strangers to use her family's Wifi?

when LT was young it was a bartering system I believe

It's very unsafe to throw a private home password around like that, especially if someone in your house makes purchases online etc.. I just wouldn't advise it.

I don't see why your mother would ask for you to contribute more if it's truly not in your means, maybe say that to her if she hasn't realised.

If you go to university(and still live there) you won't be able to do a full time job either, so you need to sort this out while you can.

(how much is the internet bill btw?)
