    I'm earning 144 from Jobseekers and a deduced rate of 30 from Rent Allowance. I'm 24 and I haven't been on jobseekers long enough to qualify for fuel allowance. Is there any way I can get more money from somewhere? 174 per week is really not enough to keep me going.

    Thanks is advance.

    Back to education after the summer... €188.00 p/w regardless of age once you qualify. Cant see how €174 p/w isnt enough though...

    It's not enough because I'm trying... TRYING to save money for a specific reason. I won't be going back to education though, I've just completed an MA, if I understand you correctly.

    Except you're not earning money, you're being given money. Job seekers is not an investment fund. If you want more money to "save" - I really don't mean to be rude - you have to get a job.

    Yes, I said 'trying'. I had a job. I had a few. I was let go. I am still a job seeker. I am still looking for work. But I obviously do have enough money to live day by day. I am trying my best to put aside maybe ten euro or so weekly so that I'll have some hope. I don't see how this is wrong? I'll end up in a ball of depression if I don't live with hope. Most people I know on jobseekers try to do this too...

    Why is it wrong? I want to leave this country.

    All I really want to know is if I am entitled to more money which I am not claiming. I'm only new to this system as I have been a student/worker for almost all of my life to date.
