Whats been bothering me recently is my lack of funds. I know, how many posts have you read today that has that worry?
I lost my job about a month ago, while being stuck in a house that isn't mine. It's my dad's, actually, but he was supposed to be here to help me take care of the place, but he never showed. So now I'm stuck paying for the mortgage and taxes. I didn't pay the mortgage this month, because I had to pay for the utilities. Because of that choice, my boyfriend and I starved for about 3 weeks, until his brother was willing to let us borrow $60 to buy food (he visited and saw we had nothing.)
I applied for unemployment, but haven't heard anything yet. Same with food stamps. We have applied to many places, but no call backs. The positive thing about it though is that we quit smoking and quit buying junk food. Unfortunately, because of the stress levels, we have been fighting a lot and we have constantly been depressed.
My water bill was due on the 20th, my electric bill was due on the 28th, and I just had a poster taped to my garage saying that the house is going to be sold, for the lack of paying the taxes (they originally told me they weren't due until October, but now on the poster, they said it's going up for sale in August.)
I am a baker, and I started an account on Etsy to sell my baked goods, but I don't even have enough money to pay for their fees and to upload items. Doesn't help that my account is negative $280.
I expect my internet to go off in the next two weeks. Along with my phone. I've talked to my family and friends, and only my boyfriend's brother was able to help out...
Any ideas on what we can do? I feel horrible for not being able to provide anything right now.
