Lost my job this week, lost my grandfather also this week, and my savings is gone due to a hardship in May; yet people want to judge and say “Kids these days can’t save money. They want mommy and daddy to post bail.” Why are people so rude when they don’t even know the full story?

This has been the hardest month/week of my life. I (28M) currently live 22hrs from the nearest family. My wife (22F) is a SAHW because I was bringing in a substantial income but she had a medical emergency that drained our savings out in May of this year.

My boss called me two weeks ago placing me on paid admin leave and then fired me a week later. (Filed a grievance at the request of my union. Will not disclose those details.)
And then my mom called me Tuesday last week stating my 100yr old grandfather is dead back in Texas.

I am mentally and emotionally drained. I can't even comprehend how to make ends meet and because of the medical emergency we don't have any savings. I have filed for unemployment and I have updated my resume. I'm praying for a miracle that I hear something very soon. I need work soon or else I'm not sure what we will do?

I made a post on social media asking for job leads and people have been so rude. It was made anonymous and everyone is being nosey telling me that I should know better than to not have any savings. They tell me I won't make it in life because I can't provide financially. And all I did is ask for job leads so I can start working again….

I'm so disappointed in myself but I'm trying to stay strong. I'm trying but I'm struggling to keep up positive vibes. I need help. I need mental help. I need financial help. I need a job or else we lose everything.
