Challenge Accepted

Well fucking shit, good luck!

Unless you apply for some kind of benefit or sell off valuables there's no way you'll be able to do that legally. Think you may have to consider taking homeless accomodation, like a friend's sofa.

How come you left it until 2 days before the due date before worrying about it?

According to the status update you're all good, ignore this.

One day off and 25 an hour. 0700-1730 during the week. 0700-1200 Saturday. Time and a half after 44 hours.

I think my situation is more affordable. Your rent must be incredibly cheap, or you haven't moved out yet.

Pretending that I need change for the parking meter isn't technically illegal, I don't think. I nabbed 97 dollars this morning from such.

Negotiated with my landlord to split my rent over the month.

And I have an incredibly high panic threshold. I distinguish between a friendly and an aggressive dog by the difference in bite force.

more liked i moved out. My folks got kicked out of their place and they moved in with me.

Yikes. Rough.

They keep their jobs, at least- or were they tied to their location?

its my grandma, uncle and uncles gf. only uncle gf had a job.

Good news! Hope everything works out well for you, message me if you end up needing help with an installment.

Aren't there any articles that prevent eviction because your rent is late in the tenant act for your region?

I admit that I did play up the situation- of course I wouldn't get evicted right off the bat. And I always could have asked my folks for money.

But there's this stupid pride thing I've got- I honestly would rather put a bullet through my head than ask for help.

I did call a suicide hotline, though- that's how I got linked up with the food bank.

There is no shame in asking for some help every once in a while, put your pride aside if you really need to.

Not the way I was raised.

Man's the provider- he can't take care of himself, he ain't worth much.


Of course- being a modern man- I don't enforce that rule on others, and think nothing less of other guys.

But I just can't bring myself to do it.

I can understand that, but in the world we live in now it can be increasingly difficult, and your health is important above all.

Fuck you! I want your job!

Yeah, what he said.

This is almost borderline retarded logic. "I'm gotta be a man and not ask for help at all! I can do it." I mean I guess you did, but the logic is still fucking irritable because our whole species is made up of social creatures who help one another to make progress in our civilization; although "progress" has become a seeming more fleeting word when you look at all the fucking welfare bums and economic downfalls and what-not.

I recognise that it's hopelessly outdated- but I just don't have much self-worth unless I do things myself.

Some people have self-image problems and are anorexic or bulimic or get plastic surgery.

I have some weird hero complex or some bullshit. I'll put myself into bankruptcy to help others- but would sooner die than admit I failed and end up owing favours.

It is slightly touched in the head, but it hasn't stopped me from being functional, so I just roll with it.

I can't really complain. I have disability checks coming in and free Obama care funded medi-cal. I don't even know where I get food from the food bank at or do I have to apply to give me food or what.

You have to apply.

Don't know if they would deliver- I think that it may vary from county to country.

I think everyone goes through that at least once in their life. I know I've been there before, more than once, and I remember college days of looking for change around the house hoping to find some to get some food.

Yeah, definitely went through rough spots during my college years- but this one struck me because it's the greatest disparity of where I was and how far I'd fallen.

Been homeless before- but that was falling from the relatively low rung of an underachieving college freshman. Here I'm basically back to square one after a jerky start to a career.

I have been second-guessing myself a lot in terms of career path, though- but I'll have to save up some before I could afford to go back to school.
