Italy has the right idea, though hopefully you get your debt sorted out. In Ireland, we are also in debt, but you can get on social welfare even before the pandemic just because you didn’t want to work for as long as you want. How do our taxpayers afford it? Well, by our government selling our country out to Brussels, the UN, Silicon Valley and other vultures of course.

Welfare more than minimum wage seems like paradise. In Italy welfare is called mom and dad ahahah

In my opinion, charities and the help of neighbours and family are better than government welfare.

In my country, you only get help from the government if you are actively applying and searching for a new job. (Unless you are on medical leave or something like it.) That way, people gets help but only during the period when they can't earn an income any other way.

Ours is like that too.

In Germany, social welfare (dole) lasts only for six months. Then you’re on your own. In Switzerland, you only get dole if you can’t work, and nobody can take care of you. If it’s a case that you’re just too lazy to work, and your family won’t fund your lifestyle, then you get the dole, but your name and address is going on a list that is displayed publicly in your town’s Main Street.

Damn, Swiss....don't they know that lazy-shaming causes so many self esteem issues leading to psychological problems and employment dysphoria ? It is literally violence.
