just a frustrated rant
i (f21) only make about $350-$406 per paycheck, which i have to make last for two weeks. its nearly impossible to make it last with bills, food, and transportation expenses.
i currently live with my grandparents, rent free (thank goodness) in SoCal cuz i cant afford a place of my own yet. they're unemployed but get disability benefits. i don't have a car, because they're too fucking expensive, and their car breaks down everywhere, so i get an uber for us everywhere, which is $25-$60 per day depending on where we have to go (work, appointments, etc.) not including food. groceries are expensive, so i do minimal shopping, but they're picky, so im getting myself groceries AND getting them whatever they want on uber eats every day.
by the near-end of the second week, im left with $0-$3 in my account, and groceries are gone, so we're literally eating nothing for 2-3 days until i get paid again.
luckily this time i have PB&J left until payday, ive had it for breakfast, lunch, and probably dinner tonight too. im tired of PB&J.
