I'm considered to be amongst the poshest in my family...
...at least on my mum's side, whom I see the most of. This lofty status is owed to the following fairly mundane facts:

a) I boast an education that extends beyond halfway-through-highschool
b) I have not only a job but a career
c) My domicile and daily living are not funded in any way by the DSS
d) I have a private pension and health insurance

My family really do think that I have ideas above my station on account of that last one - lots of 'oooh, get him' and the like (my family being heavily matriarchal rather than heavily gay). Due to spending the majority of my formative years amongst them, I have some small experience as a dole-scrounging scrote myself and I wish they could realise, as I quickly did, that life's a lot more fun when you've got more cash to play with, not to mention not having to answer to the DSS for every penny of it whilst they look down thier noses at you - I fucking hated that.

All I need to do now is work out a way to neutralise the need to get up at 7am five days per week without compromising the cash. Suggestions are appreciated ;)
