I was told it would take up to six weeks to get any financial help. I laughed told her I would be back working before then, I was back in employment by the end of the week.

[@robertcuminale1212]

My fiancée and I were married in 1972 in her church, a small Baptist congregation. She had just graduated from college and I was in the Navy. We didn't have much money. There was a luncheon buffet in the church hall and my mother in law's Sunday School class helped out. We used her family's 14 foot camper. My father in law pulled it to Lancaster, Pa. He stayed in it the next week. Three days later we flew to my duty station. We were out of the country for the next three years. Despite not knowing the language she found work in the medical field doing home care work. She didn't work in her profession which is Physical Therapy. She was paid minimum wage and I drew E-3 Pay. In that three years we paid the little loan she had off. It was small because she had worked in Summers cleaning rooms at the Jersey Shore for two years. At MCV in Richmond she worked in the cafeteria and in the labs cleaning animal cages. She used public transportation. I bought a used car from a sailor who was leaving for her work. It was a POS and I was constantly repairing it. The attitude of my family was disgusting. These are people for whom the reception is what's important. They go to the church in hair curlers and house dresses but get all dolled up for the reception. The bride and groom go tens of thousands of dollars to pay for the reception. They hope the monetary gifts will cover some of it. I heard some grumbling about my wedding because we didn't have alcohol and the food was some catered prime rib dinner. They usually can't afford a house for years and live in apartments. We got out of the Navy three years after the wedding. We stayed with her bachelor uncle for a year. He didn't charge us rent. I dis a bunch of repairs while we stayed there. It was an old Victorian house and needed a lot of work. We bought an old cottage that had been in a fire and was fixed up. My family had bad comments about the tiny house but we didn't care. Three years later we moved to North Carolina. We were able to buy a better, brand new house. We paid it off early. Our son was the first college graduate in our family. We paid for all the expenses of his education. He was able to graduate without debt and we gave him the old car he'd been driving and he traded it in on a new car. He and his wife make very good money but are still thrifty. The money is already put away for the kid's college education. We weren't cheapskates, just thrifty. We'd both grown up in poor families and knew the value of a dollar. I had 7 younger siblings and she had 4 younger brothers. 9We deprived ourselves of nothing because our needs were simple and our wants simpler. These British people have the idea that the government is supposed to supply them with everything. I've seen a lot of these videos and it's shocking how much the government spends on housing alone. I've seen two women, one with 11 kids two of whom have children and are getting housing, food and child care benefits. The mother believes she can have all the children she wants and the taxpayers must support them. You can gauge her attitude just watching her peel a potato. She doesn't skin the potato she takes gouges off of it. What does she care? She didn't buy it. Or the two women with children who do not work with one swearing she's never coming off benefits. "You think I should work at McDonalds?". She and her buddy shop all day. One keeps buying clothing. Or the couple who haven't worked in six years with two TV plans. She berates her daughter for getting a job because she could do better on benefits. The saddest cases are the 10, 11, 12, and 13 year old girls who are pregnant. I was working a repair in a public housing project and speaking with the customer she divulged that she had grown up there. When she got pregnant she was given an apartment of her own. When her daughter got pregnant she too was given an apartment. And the grandmother is still living there. That's four generations of women living in the same housing project in three different apartments. We're going down the tubes and fast.

[@ProjectFrugal]

@@robertcuminale1212 - Thanks for your story Robert. We certainly do live in an entitled generation who want a caviar lifestyle on a bread and butter income. At the end of the day, the people who will actually get ahead are the one's who are prepared to live frugally and are prepared to work hard to eliminate debt, save and make practical decisions to improve their financial positions. The two best benefits from this is that it develops a mindset shift to delayed gratification and teaches patience. This is what we've done for the last almost 10 years and we've got from panicking about money to being in control of money. While it certainly hasn't been easy at times, the rewards far outweigh the sacrifices and the light at the end of the tunnel grows a tiny little amount with each passing payday!

I still feel that working, even part-time, is super important for my health, wellbeing and self-esteem. I truly cannot understand this mindset that it's not worth working.

Is it vital for them to depend on government benefits to have an extravagant wedding complete with limo service during these dire times they're going through financially? If they're so desperate to have a dream ceremony of a lifetime, why not contact her majesty, the Queen, offering disbursement for the event? I remember looking at a magazine photo of a young woman wearing a tattered two-piece suit and worn-out shoes to appear halfway decent at her wedding in 1943 to a WW2 soldier before he shipped out to Europe. No wedding gown, no tux, no bridesmaids, no grooms, no wedding cake. Least of all, no reception at a five-star convention hall. Simply the Justice of the Peace, two witnesses, and the happy couple were in attendance. We can't always have extravagant wants and dreams out of life, but these lovebirds should use sensible measures purposely to sustain themselves without relying on government assistance to spend on ostentatious improvidences.
