I was kicked out by my dad earlier this year because I got top surgery behind his back before he was going to forcefully take me off his insurance plan during open enrollment. Was living off of SNAP & food banks having to couch surf & do shit for people just for them to let me stay. I got reduced fare & AZ [where I was living in the US] has a good cheap fare system so for me it ends up being 2USD per day for unlimited bus access in the valley metro service range.
All my money at this point comes from Ebegging and furry porn & I've had to spend every bit of my savings to move country because the only friend I have that could house me longer term is in the UK. I was quite literally living off 2USD or less a day for months. Not being able to spend money on like, shampoo or shit & pawning possetions. I don't really need to be told to budget more. I have been in varying shades of poverty my whole life.
Right now I'm legally not able to work as I don't have auth, so everything is informal. I have paperwork to hopefully get a fee waiver for disability when I do my VISA application. But I am putting all of my money into solely that, so I don't have money to spare at all. If I get fucked over on the waiver for some reason I'll need to cough up almost 6kUSD very quickly. Witch is, alot. I have been eating very little to save money especially given as I don't have SNAP. My area of the UK does not have good bus costs. Nor am I eligable for any disability program as they simply do not have them for people under an ETA & not VISA.
My relationship with my friend is, interesting. But lets just say that my rent & utilities are not paid by me. He is very bad with money though & so many things I have to find a way to cough up money for myself, Or I need to convince him to not buy some stupid shit witch is hard & also I can't exhaust too much goodwill here.
