A Frank Discussion of Finances
a year ago
"A direct deposit of $409.96 to your Wells Fargo account... is now available."
This is one of my paychecks. I make roughly $400 every two weeks. $800 a month. That translates to less than $10,000 per year. Just so you're aware, the federal poverty line is slightly over $15K.
I am in poverty. I AM a starving artist.
My monthly bills are as follows:
$460 for rent
$40 for internet
$40-80, or more, for electric (split with 3 housemates)
$110 for credit card (needed it to get a vehicle)
$95 for phone
Total: $745 per month. That's 93% of my income going to just keeping a roof over my head. This doesn't even include groceries.
I am actively job hunting, but it is a nightmare. I am trying to get more work at my current job, but they don't want to give it. I have had too many health complications to donate plasma, something I used to do to make ends meet. I need you to understand how dire and perilous my situation actually is.
To be completely frank, I need money. I have commissions open, and I have a Ko-Fi and PayPal you can give donations to. If you like my art, please consider helping me stay afloat. Please, share my art for others to discover. If you can't financially help, then please share this journal.
