Probably going to go homeless
5 years ago
For a while now, I've been barely managing to support myself and my fiance on a combination of my disability(870/mo on account of my heart issues) and off-the-record bookkeeping for elderly neighbors.
Anybody who knows me knows that wasn't enough. My fiance has far worse health issues than I do, health issues which we are still struggling with to get Social Security to wake up and accept, as they refuse to acknowledge she even HAS them. Every day BEFORE Covid19 was a struggle to make it while paying for her medicine, nursing her at home while still trying to find work and supporting her work as an artist as best I could.
After Covid, obviously things got worse for everybody. It became harder to keep up with bills or convince Social Security that our case is legit I'm am environment where everyone is fighting over an easy monthly stipend. My last client died around May, and my aging mother moved in with us to protect herself. Now, my mother is moving out again to nurse her friend, and my fiance and I cannot afford to renew our lease, so we are officially going to be homeless.
Everything I've found is either even more expensive, or for 61+. Seeing as I am only halfway there, I'm not sure what to do anymore.
I was going gray in my mid 20's. You can't fake that kind of stress.
