Ok i have to ask this.. How can people afford not to work these days? I am currently on mat leave, but plan to return to work once it runs out parttime. Parttime because i want to be at home with my son alot. Money is and will be tight. My boyfriend makes a very good wage, we have only one car payment, no debt, not an expensive morgage and money is always tight( we have a little baby) Then there is people who do not work. A cousin of mine is a single mom of a 2 year old.. and just quit her job she has a car and an appartment. How can you not work when its only your income coming in? I just do not yet it am i doing something wrong here?
