If I quit my current job and moved to rented accommodation I could pursue the 'writing side' full-time (always making sure I was ready and available for work if the ideal vacancy came along...)
This means I would lose approximately £30,000 (according to the main pay scale for teachers) which is about £120 a day. However as I get paid holidays it's really about £180 a working day. This is about £110 after tax and national insurance etc. Take off petrol and food then it's about £105. Making the maths easy, it's £100 a day.
But if I lived on benefits....
I'd get free use of Council sports facilities (I spend £2 a day on gym membership)
About £10 a day in JSA
About £13 a day in rent allowance/income support etc
So that's about £75 a day less.
But...I'd also get 10 extra hours a day free time.
So for £7.50 an hour.....
Hmmm..
Loads of advice around... people falling over each other to help...
After all £28,000 a year on benefits if you have a load of kids...
Ex-gunmen get benefits...
Terror suspects get benefits...
People even become addicted to benefits...
20% are on benefits - plenty of company...
140,000 people get more than me in a job...
Maybe go and live on a tropical island...
Maybe study p/time for an MA....
