The cost of living - is it more economically viable to be dead?

Mike Strutter

I'm unemployed.

I'm highly skilled and well educated.

I cant get a job.

My social welfare will run out soon.

I just read Irish Permo are about to hike interest rates and other banks will follow.

Probability is i will then lose my home and be on the streets - destitute.

So I sit here this morning, looking at the cost of living in Ireland - thanks to the Govt and the Banks and wonder?

Is it more economically viable to be dead.

Ill see how I feel over the weekend.

I still feel the same Ill go with Vodka and Valium to find out.

Please seek immediate medical attention - even if you're joking suicide is no joke.

At the end of the day, it's just a house. There are worse situations to be in.
Worst case scenario, declare yourself bankrupt and leave Ireland, start somewhere new.

OP please go to your GP or contact the Samaritans and MABS (money and budgeting service). There is help available.

You should be still entitled to benefit after your job seekers allowance runs out.
