There are times when I want to take the easy way out and do nothing and collect money for it..... But in reality, I know that it would not be the road that I want to travel down..... Buty like I said this is just my opinion..... Good Luck with whatever you choose....
It is a blessing that you are able to handle all the elements of your life, including holding a job, but not everyone is blessed in that way. For you to dismiss people you don't even know as choosing to take the "easy way out" is rather cold and judgmental. Perhaps, unless you have gone through the process of having struggled with employment, then applying for much needed assistance....only to be put through months ~years of jumping through hoops of every kind, with your future on hold in the meantime, you might want to reserve judgement......
