I genuinely feel like the way a lot of government programs are designed, they actively discourage being responsible.
My sister received government assistance when she was under 18 because my father is disabled and retired. At the end of it she received a letter that she "surely had saved up some of it by now" and that anything she had saved would have to be returned. She would have been better off just spending it and going hog wild.
