Well Melbourne plans just went to shit. Not cancelled shit. Just, it's going to be way less awesome now shit. Maybe I shouldn't go. Maybe this is a sign.
Centrelink just kindly informed me that despite my financial independence and despite the fact that I'll be paying rent, I'm only entitled to the dependent rate of youth allowance if I live with my parent. That means $248 a fortnight. I currently get $377, plus $89 rent assistance. My rent is going to be $200 a fortnight. This means, I have to get a job. That ruins all my plans of focussing on study. Also, what if I can't find a job? $48 a fortnight is not enough for half of the bills and groceries, let me tell you. I don't know what to do anymore. I just really don't want to cry, and I can feel it coming. I was so excited about this whole moving thing, and now it's pretty much ruined. I hate Centrelink. I hate the government. I'm 20 years old, why should my father have to support me? Maybe I shouldn't move. What should I do? I really want to, but not if I'm going to be fucked when I get there.
