There are lots of financial pluses, that's true. But it's a social stigma issue. It's like someone you haven't seen for a while asking what you do for a living and reply unemployed. You just feel like a big failure.

I lie about employment. It saves "the look", despite not being on benefits, but it's not just that it saves me the bad feeling but the potential argument telling them to STFU.
