No incentives to leave unemployment benefits earlier
F28. Currently unemployed after layoffs last year. Love AI, interested in vibe coding, have been building a few projects. I’d love to test my ideas, but if I integrate Stripe and receive a few payments (just a few, maybe 2, 3, 5) I have to open a business activity and will immediately lose my unemployment benefits, even if my idea fails and no one else pays for it. I could have left unemployment benefits months ago, but because I risk losing them just for testing out my ideas, I didn’t do anything. This country doesn’t like people who work or have an entrepreneurial mindset. Hope I can leave soon to some country that doesn’t treat me like a second class citizen :)

If you want to start a business, or have a try at it, you can request 100% of the remainder of your unemployment benefit to start a company.
Businesses involve risk, always. So if you’re not willing to risk, better polish the CV.

LMAO
You're a foreigner living on welfare and have the “lata” to complain that your vibecoded slop app may get you out of social benefits.
If you were half decent, you'd take a job or maybe at least save some money from your welfare as a cushion and take the risk on your own free time. That's entrepreneurship, the thing you're obviously not meant to do. Nobody is entitled to build a biz without taking risks. Decent people just work whatever job they can and bootstrap themselves on their own free time.
I'm not sure I'm even writing this to you as you may not have the ability to understand how self-entitled you are. Foreigner or not, have some dignity and leave as soon as possible. This country already has too many problems.
