How the fuck do you eat on a budget in Upsidedownsie Boomerangland?
I'm 19, stuck on the dole with $400 a fortnight paying $100 a week rent to sleep on a mattress in a garage. I'm some skinny skeleton trying so hard to even afford to eat but I'm stuck with a whole chicken, Jasmine Rice and $1.50 bagged vegetables for two weeks, that's it.
I feel like a wreck /fit/, I'm stuck here lurking and seeing everyone cook these legendary looking meals in the /fit/ cooking threads and wish I could do that. I see people in the CBT threads and I wished I could improve like them. I'm desperately looking for jobs but it just feels like no one gives a shit anymore. I got to the point where I slept with a 37 year old man for $50 the other night just to pay utilities that my housemate sprung on me, then discovered later on that he was HIV+ but on medication.
I used to work when I was a teenager, but now I'm past that "Junior" phase where they don't have to pay you above a threshold, I'm out of luck and don't know where to turn.
I don't want to live like this /fit/, I don't know what the fuck to do anymore, I can't even move back in with my parents cause all they do is smoke crack paranoid someone is out to get them. How the fuck do you people manage to land jobs that give you financial stability to live on your own? Who teaches you how to cook and to live on your own if your parents don't? I'm sorry that I'm using this as my personal blog but I honestly don't know what the fuck to do anymore. I just feel so malnourished, disadvantaged and don't know where else to turn apart from you anons.
