How? You think about these things early on in life & face possible reality. You don't **** it up against a wall, you put it into a Savings Account.
You give up fags & put that into your Savings account.
In other words one plans & looks cautiously ahead for the Rainy Day.
One uses their loaf instead of thinking the Government, AKA Taxpayer, will always be there to pick up the tab but with all this, one has to plan & start saving early in life if you are going to have one.
Pompous? Maybe, but that is what we did & used our loaves early in life to be where we are now & not under a bridge or in a Doorway or hungry. I suspect there are many on here that have covered their arses early in life & done likewise just as you appear to have done,Mick.
I've never been jobless, except when I chose to be a student, but I've been lucky. Life is definitely harder now then it was when I was younger.

Cynical Moi?

Probably also for your Ancestors, one by one through the ages.
It was probably more difficult (harder) making a steel rimmed wheel that knocking a couple up out of a couple of timber PMG cable reels.

SubscriberThat’s as out out of touch as something ScoMo would say and said like someone who’s never had to worry about or has lived below the poverty line. Tell me what what a younger person - only a few years out of School is supposed to do if they are unsuccessful in securing work immediately, what “savings” are they supposed to have? If you were just trying to troll someone, that’s one thing, but if you seriously have no idea why that comment is so far from reality, then wow...

according to the govt, they have in the last couple of weeks created over 600,000 jobs so it shouldn't be hard to find a job now , should it?
Businesses and workers created those jobs, not the government.

SupporterI think it is more of a case of smoke and mirrors that the Actual creation of 600,000 jobs.

SubscriberGet out! What on earth would make you think that?
It's a bit like the way government bangs on about the Police Service.
'Today we are proud to announce that X number of new recruits are now on the streets, fighting crime"!
What they don't tell us is, that in all probability, X+¼X have resigned, retired, been injured or perhaps sacked, in the same time.

SubscriberThey didn’t happen to mention what sort of jobs and where? Daughter lost her job just before Covid and has been unable to find work since - even unskilled work is non existent. With the local restaurants opening again here in Melbourne she thought she might be in with a chance but the first place she applied to told her not to bother as they had over 400 applications for the few positions and over 100 of those had Barista experience so it’s going to be an uphill battle for a while for a lot of people.
