[awa355]

A woman gives up her unemployment benefit because she chooses to travel to Aussie for a couple of months.

When she returns, how long is/if she has a stand down period?

Well it either involves a "sugar daddy" or maybe it's one of those "working girl holidays" ....

Actually, her family in Auss paid for her trip over and back. She was going for a family wedding, that being a woman, was FAR more important than her financial position in the long run. Was going for two weeks, decided to stay an extra month.

We have had to pick up the weekly rental on her caravan for the last 3 weeks. Even my wife has had a gutsful of the atitude that she shows. This woman is 60yrs old.

She had nowhere to go, so we gave her a place, we paid the bond and 1st two weeks rent for the caravan.

She has never contributed a thing to the power or phone costs in over 12 months. Her stay was meant to be a short term fix.

When she gets back, if she's got a lengthy stand down, she is going to move, she has 3 grown daughters that can take her in.

I'm afraid we have had a gutsful of being used and have carried her for long enough.

I'm suprised that GE finance haven't been looking for her car.

She has a fairly rugged 60+ years behind her, The price she would have to accept, would never pay enough for an airfare

Judging by the story above, you've done a charitable thing and just being taken for granted

Oi! I grew up in Naenae. We never paid more than -50% for anything back then, things must have changed.

I used to own a second hand shop. We used to get asked for WINZ quotes all the time. Easy, we were WINZ approved. The ones that used to really tick me off were the ones that came in with the direct credit form (WINZ have approved payment of our written quite, payment direct to our bank account) and ask to "cash it in" Wankers!

Uncle Joe? I've sold that TV you hocked in 1968.

They will have been, trust me on that. Um, leave her to find her rock bottom! Honestly, leave her. She has family that will pick up the bits if they really HAVE to I am sure. They have probably done that a few times emotionally before this. I am the first person to offer a hand up to anyone, but I really recognise co-dependancy, and dont particiapte. Sometimes it takes me a bit too long to figure out the relationship, but once I do, it is over the minute it becomes too much of an emotional drain on my reserves.
Some may call me hard, but I stand by who I am and what I contribute to society, and who I hold dear to me. Sometimes I get it wrong and get involved with people that take and take, I love them still, but I dont have any spare of me to give frankly. I try to enrich my life with people that give back now.

Good on you for being who you are! People like you make our world go around

If she told WINZ she was going ... and kept them informed of her plans ... she may not have come off the benefit.

I guess she's have blown that anyway by extending her holiday....
