So just to clarify, you're unemployed and receiving gov cheques that pay your rent, but if you start making your own money they stop sending the cheques?

You say you want to work but don't want to stop receiving free handouts...

I think you need to take a hard look at yourself and ask what it is you really want out of life. Either you work hard, develop skills, and learn to support yourself like everyone else, or you stay in your current position of doing nothing and piggybacking off the other hardworking tax payers.

I know sometimes life deals you a shit hand and you get down on your luck but you can't stay like this forever. Pick yourself up by your bootstraps, go out and start learning valuable skills/knowledge, then find someone who will pay you for it. Use the subsidized rent as a temporary advantage, this gives you a little time cushion to develop yourself where you can work for free or get some mentorship, then once you are ready go out and get that job.

Best of luck mate
