What do you spend your disability on?

I no longer qualify for much help as I work and have some savings.

My only government assistance I get is about £300 a month

The thing is I am used to not spending it on anything specific and using it for general expenses.

Today I just had a cleaner visit my flat for 2 hours, and she cleaned my kitchen and bathroom top to bottom for £30

My parents give me so much grief over my cleaning, and I got sick of it and thought if I need this disability money, I should use it for things like this to support me and relieve some stress

It seems incredibly lazy to me, but I work long hours and have poor motivation when it comes to these sorts of things

I spend my disability money on rent, food, cigarettes, a streaming service, phone, and whatever doctor/dental bills I have to pay that month.

That’s about it.

On everything I need not to run around naked without a roof over my head. I fall back with my money because I am an addict and need luxury goods like cigarettes. Otherwise I would go to places having a coffee and a biscuit, or maybe a meal in a restaurant.

At the moment it goes on mostly clothes, games, beer. Then sometimes transport (I dont go out much tbh), sometimes food.

I’ve thought about spending some on driving lessons, but I feel like I’m going to need my money for when I live on my own soon, so I’m saving up instead.

I spend my disability money on food & utilities.

I get a lady in once a month to clean for me. I could call it lazy, but the truth is it would take me an entire week to do what she accomplishs in 2 hours. My back is just fried. Seems like a wise investment

99% of my income goes to keeping up the house, food and medication

just what i need, it depends on what i need and what i can afford,

I think i need some new trousers and stuff though, i have an idea about what i want

All my bills. Today I’m buying a new pressure tank for my well. I don’t have any running water right now. It is something I like having.
Some people have told me. It must be nice getting free water, when they find out I have a well. It is not free I paid for the electricity. And when something breaks I paid for it. No free water here.

Rent, vaping supplies, sometimes a takeout once in a while, electric bill, clothes, DVDs. That’s pretty much it.

SSDI is my only income, so it gets spent on living. Food and Rent are my biggest expenses. Phone comes next. Then there’s my bus pass and dental insurance. There’s prescription copays along with medical copays. The rest goes into savings and paying my credit cards.

Bills, rent, food, gas. Maybe treat myself to a meal out or a little something off Amazon. I have my income from my job too. Last month I ordered like 5 lbs of those little candy hearts that say a word or two on them and some gourmet jelly beans. Don’t regret it at all though I have some bills to pay.
