Poverty sucks ass....

[Kitte]

and I dont mean in the fun yummy hot little butt hole™ way.

I have 2 dollars to my name. 1 1/2 packs of smokes and not much else. Though I do have clean towels now

I need a job.

 

[wicked faerie]

i'm with you there, girl. i don't want to be though, lol.

 

[sabbathstorm]

Oh I know the feeling only too well. I'm lucky in that I do have a job now but I'm flat broke and the bill collectors are on my back. No pay until the end of the week and that's going to be gone the same day. It's probably going to take me months to dig myself out of the hole.

 

[Ezarc]

I am far too close to bankruptcy and I have a job. I don't even have my own apt right now.

YAY the hat is back! I love that pic of you Amelia...and hey if you bring your stuff here...we could probably actually make something!

 

[PacificBlue]

geez...tell me about it. I do have a job. I'm thankful to be able to pay the bills on time.

I may not get to do a lot of *extra's* but I'm doing ok.

 

[pipercatt]

Kitte, Ez, and all the rest of you, I am in your boat, too.

I have a 2 week course that I am taking, and won't be able to get a job till after that.

Until then, I get a small weekly allowance from the soon to be ex.

My cats are out of food, so they get first priority at the grocery store today.

We've already divided the bills, unfortunately, mine are coming due before I get out of school.

Looks like I am in good company, though.

Thank god hugs are free.

*Hugs* to you all, I am rich in those.

 

[Ezarc]

*Hugs right back at you*

Piper honey Thank you....sometimes we need a little perspective. Hugs are free....

(((((((((((((((((((((((rose: Piper ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

 

[pipercatt]

Thanks, you two. That made me feel a little better.

It's just funny, because I just went through a weeks worth of mail, gathered up all the bills, etc, just to see where I stand financially, got depressed, came to Lit, and this was the first thread I saw.

eeerie, huh?

Piper you are rich in so many ways, love of a good man, love from good friends, in caring, in humor, and in hugs.

just sharing my sad tale.


In college i lived off of nothing but one 5-pound sack of rice for a month. I was absurdly broke.

 

[Wiggles]

fanzee, I think I just took a glimpse into my future. I'm broke right now, actually going out to look for a better job as soon as my hair dries. I can't imagine what it will be like once I start college, when I actually do start college.

My weekly shopping trip consisted of pop, tp, and girl stuff. And we *really* need food!

Bah, money sucks.

 

[teddybear4play]

Hey! Sounds like me, only two dollars poorer.

TB4p

 

[Cheyenne]

I have never been broke so I can't relate to not having money to eat, etc. Money buys comfort, that is true. But it doesn't buy happiness or even kindness from others. You're all rich in different ways, and who is to say which type of richness is the best?

Thank you, Luv...methinks I need to remember that more often.

You know that I feel the same way about your, right? I am just not as good as expressing it as you do.

But you'll have to change that one part from "love of a good man" to "love of a good woman." Unless you don't want to!

I agree Cheyenne. I am very poor financially but after Pipers post I decided to do a little inventory.

I have an amazing best friend (yes you Allexus)
I have just found a WONDERFUL man who rocks my world in so many ways.
I have a roof over my head till the end of August
I have my health (well I woke up today and I count that in the plus column)
I do however wish I had more then 2 dollars but a job will come when it comes..and I keep plugging along and looking. Till then I will just stop and count my blessings.

Noodles also go a long way. And i took a tip from my mom and stocked the freezer w/poultry when the market had a really good sale. Just some pointers.

Just keep focused on what you'll be able to earn with your degree. Being poor sucks, true, but this too shall pass.

Good luck to you.

Been there, done that, and I am back in the slew water again. Life never stops being a roller coaster of prosperity or poverty. I just wish that I could land a job. Been interviewing for so long, that I actually miss going to work!

What sucks the most is when you can't qualify for state aid. You can't make your bills yet, you get turned down for welfare and food stamps. Where is the irony there????

I was told that I couldn't get welfare because I had a paid off vehicle in my name. They told me to sell the car and live off the profits. OK....so tell me this, if I do that, how exactly am I supposed to get to and from work once I find a job?????

Legislation used to be like that here but they realized just how stupid the regulation was. The area I live in is pretty rural and public transportation is non-existent. The weird thing is that student loan still considers a car as an asset.

When I talked with the Gvmnt about state aid when I was sick and unable to work the woman asked me if I had kids I said no she said well get pregnant then call again??????

Oh god. Am I the only person that feels ashamed when I hear government workers talk like that?
