I'm probably the wrong person to be talking to about being dependent on other people for money because I'm in disability support payment limbo. Too sick to work, but we're not sure if you're sick enough to give you money because we can't pronounce what you have.

You're already in the good child category because you don't want to be taking money from your parents, IMO. You can't really help your circumstances, but you are doing your best right now and you want to be independent in the future. You don't expect your parents to support you while you remain unemployed forever.

I payed for a lot of things either out of pocket or with loan schemes after I turned 18. I didn't really expect anyone to pay for me because none of my extended family are well off and I didn't want to ask my former legal guardian. So idk. Normal is what's normal for your situation. Some of my friends were in the same boat and some of them had parents either helping out with loans or paying out of pocket for them to study or get an apartment. My friend's parents bought him an apartment in the city that must be worth maybe 700k. Then they sold it because he was slacking with his studies and made him move back home to the guest house. He's upset, but I find it (secretly) hilarious that that's the worst thing that's ever happened to him. Living rent free next to a swimming pool.

In the meantime, are there any government incentive type payment schemes for people seeking work where you are? We have the Newstart allowance which is financial assistance for people actively seeking jobs. It's one of the easiest ones to apply for and a lot of my friends have been on it when they were between jobs or studying. It was you that was having foot problems I think? It's also currently doubling as a temporary disability support payment for people who are expecting to get back to work in the near future.
