Ema Help [+Rep]

[Cwmbran]

When I went to 6th form, all the students who received EMA spent it on stuff they wanted.
Not on course materials like it should have been.

I think it should be put into your bank at the end of each week or fortnight which ever you have opted for.

Lmaoooooo.

So what if he wants to buy a game? Its his money he can buy what he wants. I use mine to buy DVDs and stuff, wanna have a go at me? :rolleyes_ Seriously what else do people spend ema on then? Because hardly anyone actually spends it on school related things.

Lol exactly. its his money so people can't exactly tell him how to spend it. Its liek my sisters been saving up over £100 of her ema money to buy this coat she wants.

I don't see the point in the whole EMA thing, but if you've got it you might aswell use the pointless program "/

Indeed and how is that meant to make you buy course materials and not gig tickets etc etc?

EMA is Educational Maintenance Allowance, and you could pretty much twist anything into being "Educational Maintenence".

Its such a cheek that people can come on here
and talk about how they are spending their money on anything but school
my parents have jobs
my parents earn money
and yet you lot get free money?

Just because someone gets EMA, doesn't mean their parents don't have jobs, it just means they don't earn as much as you, so really, it's a way of classing people together again.

I don't get EMA, and in all honesty, I couldn't give a flying hoot what the people who get EMA do with it, it's their money that the government give them to stop them from working so do with it what you wish.

Personally if I don't use mine I save it and I'm letting it build up for when I need it for something else important because the £30 is really useful to me but I don't see a problem with maybe using some every so often to maybe idk treat yourself.

[whoooosh]

i see a problem
because you are gettin free 'treats'
and people whose parents earn a decent wage get nothing free
