If you couldn't afford to live then why didn't you sell all the crap which you don't need? PS3, Xbox, any extra TV sets, mobile phone and replace with a £15 PAYG, Sky/Virgin, games, DVD's etc? That would have seen you get through for a few months at least. Plus I'm not calling you a liar but my mother is a senior carer in a care home and has been for the last decade. Not once has she had her hours cut as a result of residents dying, and they die all the time.

I just think you are being overly critical because it makes you feel good....
I have a contract phone, have freeview, 1 TV.
I thought that about carers, but it's something to do with less people in the home means carers needed, all hours were cut. I think it's wrong, but it's my place to say.
But I'm going to leave it at this, don't see any point posting here any more to just get abused and **** on quite frankly. Because I'm not well off so can't really save for the future makes me some kind of bad man, so, I'll leave you millionaires and high rollers to it. Bye.
If it makes you feel bad then why spend so much time posting in it? You gave your opinion and benefit of your wisdom on how people should manage what little they have, there is no need to beat it with a stick as well.....I expect he feels bad enough already without you kicking him a bit more just because you can.....like I said sometimes a little compassion is more appropriate.
Do you expect anything less from someone who types "would have"?
The reason I'm posting is because it's clear he doesn't fully realise the importance that his actions had in creating this situation. I wouldn't feel right letting that sort of thing go on without pointing it out to that person. If he seemed to understand what I was talking about then I simply wouldn't bother posting.
Only it wasn't limited to his actions, the actions of others (his Dad and his partner's drop in income) also contributed to his situation, sometimes you misjudge a situation or put too much faith in things such as income etc, if we were able to plan for every eventuality then we would all have enough money saved to pay off our mortgages before we take one out and so on........not everyone has the means to account for everything and many live from month to month by necessity. He clearly said he can afford to feed and look after his Dog, but his father will not allow the dog to move with him, so he either has to find somewhere at short notice that will allow pets and rents within his means or he finds a suitable home for his dog...he had to do the latter. He doesn't appear to have continued any of the subscriptions that it is claimed he has or has drawn up loads of debts...he simply finds himself in a position where his income has fallen unexpectedly and is trying to deal with it....
Give the kid the benefit of the doubt and a bit of compassion in what must be a difficult day for him. Criticise him another time.
you have done a lot more than point out something, sheesh give the guy a break for gods sake
If you don't mind I'll choose to criticise people when I like rather than when I'm told it's appropriate to do so.
The fact that I criticise doesn't mean I lack compassion. I never knew you saw things so black and white.
I don't mind what you do, you are as free to criticise as I am to disagree with the way you go about it.
And going back to something you said earlier about advice and what really annoys you, I can't help but think it appears it's alright to tell people they should listen to good advice, but not to take any yourself.....and I didn't say you lacked compassion, only that you might show some of it on this occasion.
Do what you will Zefan, but I think you are being too harsh on Jaffa_Far this time, just let it ride, I'm sure there will be other opportunities to give him a bashing over his choices.

I have a foster dog at the mo and when he goes to his new home it will break my heart

Jaffa_Far should be ashamed of himself for binning his dog just because his circumstances have changed. Pets are a full time responsibility you selfish ****, stick to pet rocks next time!
Pretty much yeah, there is a recession after all, wage cuts and job losses are happening left right and centre. If you can't survive for at least a few months on JSA after losing a job you shouldn't have a dog or be spending money like you did. Agree with Zefan totally. No way would I put PS3 games before my animals.

Agree, OP is weak.
Coming on here with his sickly sentiments because he cannot afford dog food is a complete joke. Licences should be required and fines dished out foreople like you.
Did you read the thread...he can afford to feed and look after his dog, his father will not allow the dog in the house and due to a reduction in his income he has to downsize (move back in with his dad)...it happens and it could happen to anyone in this thread.
I wouldn't be able to give my dog away, I'd much rather not eat and get food for the dog.
Still, the situation is what it is although I can't help thinking that keeping the dog could have been an option, my parents wouldn't want me to move back in with the dog but they wouldn't expect me to get rid so they'd have to put up.
