I’m a 22 year old who’s currently struggling in this economy. I lost my job due to personal health reasons halfway through 2020 and it’s been damn near impossible for me to find a job my community since due to my past record. I made some bad decisions about a year ago that got me into some major trouble after getting caught up in the wrong friend group and it’s honestly ruined my life. Thankfully I’ve overcome that struggle and disconnected with those people after everything all caught up with me. Being out of work this long has driven me up the wall because I feel so worthless and like a disappointment to the people closest to me. I do everything I possibly can to make money to be able to afford my rent, pet’s food, as well as myself, but with it being winter my little side hustles have been reduced to far and few. I’m currently 2.5 months late on rent (1200+lage fees) and have no idea how I’m even gonna put a dent in that margin. I only have about 2 months left on my lease and am supposed to be moving to another city afterwards, but I don’t know if that’ll even be possible since I’m behind and owe money to multiple different companies for my utilities for my current property and the last as well. Which means I’d get to live in tiny Chevy Impala with 2 large sized dogs and a kitty for a couple weeks to a month at least until my bf collects a couple checks. He already has a job lined up making at least 1000 a week being paid weekly and there’s more job opportunities out there for myself as well.. For the last year I’ve struggled with financial issues first due to hours being cut cause covid then to losing my job because I needed to get help for myself, but whenever I can get my hands on some cash it usually goes straight to my dogs and cats food because I wanna make sure they’re full and healthy, even if that means not feeding myself for the next night or two. They’re the most precious things to me in this whole entire world and I wanna be able to give them the best lives, but recently I’ve considered rehoming them due to my struggles. The thought alone kills me, so I’m trying everything I can possibly do to be able to provide for them, so it doesn’t come down to having to give them away. I honestly only eat maybe four days out of the week because groceries are so expensive around where I live. Plus there aren’t very many options to shop at unless I wanna drive an hour or more for cheaper prices, but then that means I have to drop $60 on gas then drop even more cash that I don’t have on the food itself. So no matter what I choose to do I’m in a lose-lose situation. Ive gotten to the point where I honestly dont know what to do anymore and I’m scared this struggle is going to be the end of me if I can’t figure something out soon. My family has helped so much already, but they can only do so much because they have lives and families of their own to take care of. It took me almost 6 months of struggling before i finally informed my family of my financial issues because I hate having to ask people to help me when I SHOULD be able to do this myself. I did it for the first 3 years of being on my own, so why can’t I do it now? I feel like such a burden when having to ask people for help, but sometimes it’s the only option we have, so gotta suck up the pride and ask anyways. So that right there is my struggle of you need anymore information or have any questions feel free to email me (brianna.r.gilbert@gmail.com) so if anyone out there would be willing to help me out, it would be highly appreciated and you’d be my saving angel. Once I’m finally back on my feet and working again I will repay back every penny to whoever would be willing to help me out in this time of need. Thank you in advance. I hope you’re all safe, stable, and secure in this wretched economy. I pray no one else has to endure these same struggles that I’ve been facing because it truly does suck and really wears you down as a person. Much love to you all!! ❤ Again thank you all so much for taking the time to read this.
