We don't run out of student loan money by the end of the week, I know how to budget! I'm just really careful with what little we're given. If people didn't spend all their money on flash cars/smokes/alcohol/drugs/gambling/junk food etc then they shouldn't have a problem with running out of their benefit!

That's such a charming way of thinking of it.

There is more good news.... WFF tax credits are going up in October this year. You can see your entitlement on the IRD calculators. Looks like about $20/week for us.

Good on you for budgeting but not every one is like you....I am sorry but I have heard too many stories and it seems sooo common. You are right they spend it all on smokes, alcohol and junk food. ITS SAD!! Not to be mean or any thing but we always laugh to see KFC, MCD's busy on Thursday night....

Hey is it true that the PPL is looking at going up to a year rather than 14 weeks?

ETA - Sorry ignore this post - I just read the first page PROPERLY and some kind person there has mentioned about it :)
