A MUM who boasted about splashing her £26k annual benefits on luxury holidays and a horse has revealed that she's surviving on food banks after having her hand-outs cut.
Marie Buchan, 41, earned the title of the Queen of Benefits after she revealed she scraped by on £500 a week while bringing up her children Tia, Leah, Latoya, Joshua, Alisha, Mikayla, Amelia and Olivia, arguing she worked 21 hour days to stay afloat.
But the mum-of-eight was heavily criticised after she appeared on This Morning where she revealed the taxpayer had funded her cosmetic surgery, luxury holidays and a £600 horse.
However, Marie, from Birmingham, says that the days of frittering away her income is long gone and since becoming a grandmother in October she has made some serious cuts.
Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, Marie says: "As my kids have got older I have really lost out on my benefits because they're no longer kids but they're all still living with me.
"My income has gone down to just £350 a week since the kids have left school but I still have to pay £20 of rent and £140 of council tax with that.
"I've had to use food banks because by the time I have paid for my gas and electric I've got absolutely nothing left. It's unreal.
"I've been forced to claim a £120 one off hardship payment and I am also accessing £60 food vouchers from the kids' school but it doesn't go far enough.
"Luckily the housing association is also giving out Aldi vouchers or else I'd really be snookered."
Marie says that the cost of living crisis means that she's been forced to give up one of her most prized possessions.
"I will have to sell the horse which breaks my heart," the mum says.
"His stables are costing me £80 a week and the food on top of that is a cost I just can't afford right now.
"He was something I always wanted but what choice do I have?"
Marie admits that she regrets crowing about her previously 'luxury lifestyle.'
She says: "I probably shouldn't have made such an extravagant purchase, I see where people are coming from.
"A lot of people are working full time and can't afford luxuries so it is quite bad of me to shout and scream about my lifestyle.
"I have had to really scale back on my own purchases. I was previously so flashy with my cash.
"I bought holidays, boob jobs and of course my lovely horse but you can't buy anything now, I regret being such a spendthrift."
Despite scaling back on her pricey purchases, Marie says that she's still the target of cruel trolls who she says have no right to bad mouth her.
"Still to this day I am the target of online trolls," Marie says.
"They call me the scum of the earth and even receive death threats.
"It never makes me question whether I should be claiming benefits though, if you're entitled to them then I don't see the issue.
"I'm known for being on the doll but I bet that the same people who were giving me hate for that have been claiming their free electricity vouchers."
Marie says that those who criticise her should put themselves in her position.
“If my trolls lived a week in my shoes they wouldn’t be able to handle it,” she says.
“I spend at least £200 a week on food and after I have paid my bills I’m left with virtually nothing.
“Being on benefits is not a luxury lifestyle, I dare any of my trolls to try it they would eat their words.”

A newlywed has told of how they lost upwards of $27,000 and were left 'heartbroken' after more than half of their guests who RSVP'd didn't show up for their big day.
Gray Narvaez-Dragion, an 18-year-old who is transgender and uses they/them pronouns, uploaded a video to TikTok showing multiple tables with no guests sitting at them.
An overlaid caption on the clip, which had more than 5.2 million views at the time of writing, explains: '88 people said yes... not even 40 showed up.'
The video quickly gained traction online, with thousands of commenters expressing their disbelief at Gray's empty wedding scene.
Many viewers slammed the guests for being rude, with one person writing: 'If you can't make it to a wedding TELL THE HOSTS - it's ok! They will save money with their caterer if you give notice! Don't lie!'
Other commenters sympathized with Gray, from the US, and shared similar horror stories from their big days.
Another person said the same thing happened to him and after estimating 100 people would show up for his wedding day, only about 30 were in attendance.
While a third social media user revealed: 'Happened to my sister. We set the room for 80 and not even 30 came. We made the best of it but darn. I would never do that to someone.'
Gray explained in the comment section that because so few people showed up for their nuptials, they were forced to cancel their 'sparkler send off, private dance, [the] dinner [and] cut the entire reception short.'
The DJ also 'felt so bad [that] he made us use the photobooth I hadn't touched and took pics together.'
Gray added: 'Our ceremony made me so happy, but when I looked into the chairs we had set up I realized they were empty. I didn't realize until after... Been in tears for hours over this... I was so heartbroken.'
To make matters worse, they said they fell over during the first dance and their mom 'didn't say a single word until my dad made her.'
After their wedding was cut short, Gray said they sat with their new husband, Nyx, 'in the empty ceremony room together and cried.'
Gray told commenters that the wedding cost more than $27,000 and they were left financially broken after the February 27 event.
They explained: 'I can't afford our own food after I got fired and not even half attended. I'm devastated.'
Another TikTok shows how Gray had invested in wedding favors for their guests, with the keepsakes including bars of soap and sparkly magnets.
In a bid to help the newlywed out, commenters have asked if they can purchase the items and Gray has since shared their Venmo details.
Some viewers have also offered to buy the married couple wedding gifts to make up for those they didn't receive.
Gray thanked commenters for all of their words of support, writing: 'I'm getting flooded with so much love. I'm so thankful for every one of you.'
In reaction to some people who questioned if the story was true, Gray shared a screenshot of their wedding invite spreadsheet showing all of the guests who had RSVP'd and then didn't show.
After viewing the clip, one TikTok user wrote: 'I hope you cut those ppl from your life. Don't accept any excuse. If they didn't show up for your best day, they won't show up in your worst day.'
While another advised: 'Keep that spreadsheet, adjust your energy, effort and attention accordingly for anyone who flaked.'

Why doesn't anyone ever mention that the reason earnings in excess of $160,000 are not subject to payroll taxes is because no Social Security benefits are paid on earnings in excess of $160,000?

I'm sure people making that kind of money are really gonna need the SS benefits in retirement. Meanwhile, frick everyone else, they can work with their hands until they're 80 and their skin is worn off. Also, what's up with this bullshit that children can't work?! #LetThemToil
Here's a bonus centrist take that generated some sneeding: https://x.com/professorplum_/status/1628782120171884544?s=20
Feels like we need to raise or eliminate the cap but also raise the retirement age as Americans live for far longer than when the system was created

I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.
