Not only this, but she's even asking people to donate to her GoFundMe page, so that she can treat herself to a boob job.
The young mother, who calls herself Bonnie and lives in a council property, shared a short clip on social media and wrote: 'I've ran out of Universal Credit, donate to my GoFundMe.'
Clapping back to taxpayers, Bonnie filmed herself cleaning her filthy kitchen sink and said: 'I might be a single mum on Universal Credit, but at least I'm not dumb.
'You lot literally have to work 40 hours a week to get half of what I get - I literally get given £4,000 a month from the government.'
While Bonnie asked trolls to 'stop putting hate' in her comments, she showed off her messy home and slammed: 'If it wasn't for you lot working full time and paying taxes, I would not even have these grey Tommy Hilfiger leggings.'
But moments later, in response to a comment that accused her of lying about her Universal Credit payments, which are given to UK residents with a low income or those who need help with their living costs, Bonnie shared a screenshot of what she claimed to be her most recent payment - a hefty £4,320.98.
In response to the hater, who blamed her for spreading 'rage bait' content online, Bonnie said: 'Why would I lie? That's what I got paid like two weeks ago.
'Don't be jealous because I get given double what you earn in a month - I practically get your monthly wages in a week.'
On Bonnie's profile, she has since shared a link to her GoFundMe page, whereby she is asking the public to donate to her boob job fund.
She has an ambitious target of £2,200 and at the time of writing, had raised just £10 thanks to two donations.

While she can't afford to pay for the surgery herself, the mother claimed that she 'deserves to feel good' but stressed that getting the cosmetic work done 'isn't about vanity'.
