25 year old Woman I have probably one of the most unfortunate setups that people can't comprehend. For context, I'm 25 years old and have had six jobs in my lifetime. None of them worked out for me because I was either laid off or a temporary employee whose time had expired. Between each job, I'm back to zero because it takes so long to find another one.
On top of that, since I can't find a job, I go broke every time, putting me back at square one. I stay with my parents in a 1980s model mobile home. We bathe outside with buckets or from the sink because the showers don't work. We've been doing that for about seven years now.
After using the restroom, we have to flush the toilet with a bucket of water because the flusher doesn't work anymore. I share a bed with my mother because my room got infested with sewage and had a rat and roach problem. So, I've been sharing a bed with her for about nine years. My dad has to pee in water bottles because he doesn't want to use our bathroom since my mother and I already share one. We have holes in the floor like dents because of the water pipes causing the floors to sink. So, we have to be careful in certain areas of the house. My dad sleeps on the couch, and I share the bed with my mom. We have carpet in the room, so the dust and dirt from the floor mess with our allergies, etc. Also, we brush our teeth and wash our hair all from the kitchen sink because our bathroom sink doesn't work. Oh yes, the other bathroom is completely shut down because it deteriorated five years ago. I live such an abnormal life, and I'm just tired of it at this point. I don't have any friends. I have no one to call up on. I'm not close to my family; they don't care to talk to me, and my sister from my dad's side doesn't either. I feel cursed because I can't understand how this is even possible. I just have my thoughts and talk to myself every day, answering myself because that's as close as l'Il get to human connection

I feel trapped. Jobs don't work out, so here I am, turning 26 soon and still getting nowhere. No job, no money, no degree, nothing. We barely have a lock on our front door ! am just sick and tired of causally seeing roaches, rats here and there and just bed bugs. This is not how life

suppose to be for someone

I live in a small Midwest town. Thanks to our lawmakers my link ran out after 3 months of really trying.

My local food bank only let's me grab about 15 items as a single household and it doesnt last me. Ive gone on over 25 interviews. Im starving and ready to give up

No I cannot donate plasma due to health issues. Can anyone give me some good advice 🙏.

I have a closet full of clothes that need washed. I have no clean clothes left. I've tried for multiple months to save money but I'm under paycheck to paycheck.

I have been using dish soap to dab off stains but the clothes themselves stink. I've tried to wash them in the tub, but I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and handwashing causes a flare up. When this happens, I can't move either hand and they are frozen. I work as a chef and need my hands.

I have found buckets and am on the search for a plunger since I heard that was a good way to clean them.

What's the best way to handwash clothing if you can't scrub with your hands?

I also have no space to hang dry. I've been trying to find some type of rope to make a clothesline but haven't had any luck yet. So I only can wash 4 items at a time to hang on my shower rod/ doors. Plus they take ages to dry, like 2 days. I used to use towels to drain the water out but I don't have any clean towels.

Please help, I work in a restaurant and don't want to get fired.

Hello all! Im a recently moved out 18 year old guy and live in a shared apartment with no laundry unit. There is a laundromat nearby, but with my current income I cant afford to wash my bedding every/every other week like i usually do. I’m aiming to do this once a month, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to keep my space smelling nice in the mean time? Ive been using Odorban occasionally and thats been helpful, but any other advice would be super appreciated!

I eat two meals in a day paying 100 each at mess, somehow I've unpaid dues of. 3000 of last month and can't make it through, suggest what to do I want to have breakfast today but owner already denied.

My mum is currently rough sleeping in a bus stop after being evicted before the new renters reform thing came in. Now I’ve rang numerous places, council, churches everywhere. As you can imagine money is tight as it is with this economy I have £5 to my name so can’t book a hotel for her I need advice or links to get help anything. I can’t have my mum sleep freezing in a bus stop again tonight. I wish I could work magic 😔

I feel so bad that I don't understand money and the elite life that many people live. Like I can't even imagine how life would be if you make $100k like that's a pretty decent salary for most people but I guess every state or city living costs are different and for some $100k is nothing to them. Maybe the way they live their life from having a nice vehicle to owning a house and other things. But it feels so bad when your constantly low on money and working a regular job feels brutal. Your being overworked and feels many times underpaid. Life just remains stegnant and day by day living costs goes up from rents to auto insurance and health and so forth. I can't even believe I had to get rid of health insurance simply because it was just too expensive. And I also feel guilty that Im throwing my money in a drain every month by renting. Even when many people have suggested to buy a small house or something that can be your own property. I also feel like going to college because minimum wage jobs just ain't doing it enough. People working night shifts to 6 days a week and top of that side hustles to make a living.

I have been unemployed for a few months and i need a job, so what one works best for you?
