DPB here not really sure what else I get as its all paid together. I'm studying full time and live with my parents. Could no way afford to live without living with them unless I stopped studying I hate having to rely on them but on the plus side I'm so stoked to be in a country who does actually support me

Fattartsrock - the child care thing is my big whinge at the moment too! I had an interesting conversationw ith WINZ about it the other day. I can get a 3.26 subsidy for 9 hours if I don't go to work. If I go to work and do the 6 hours of work offered to me I still get the 3.26 but only for the 6 hours...hmmm.

I am on the DPB, and that includes the WFF and the TAS.

After rent I have around about $200 a week for power, phone, internet, other bills, food, etc.    It would be considerably less if I had to pay back a bond, which I have done in the past.   Thankfully my dad helped me out with that this time.

Soon though when my DP moves down from Auckland I will come off the benefit and we will have to organise WFF and accomodation supplement. No idea how much we are going to get.

My stinking rich ex in Australia earns $90k + a year and has all his accomodation/food/utilities included in his job so pretty much pays for nothing and he pays NO child support.    Not sure how he gets away with that one.
