I have to forage dandelions to eat, And gather the harvest from wild fruit trees. There are days that i go without eating at all. Food has grown more and more expensive overtime. i can see some ways to get out if my situation a little but but i cant help but feel stuck. I have lived on almost nothing for years trying to save the bits of money that trickle my way. I will buy some basic land soon and make a small farm so i can carr for my family someday. i am also going to try my hand at stock. Wish me lucK.

Um... Aren't you on SSI?  And didn't you brag about scamming them for more money than you're supposed to be getting?  If you're living on dandelions, you may want to rethink your spending habits. lol

 you clearly dont know anything about how ssi works. I am living on 750 a month and i am approved for food stamps but it never comes in the mail. due to covid i cant pick it up and tjey have resent the card 10+ times a d it never comes. No i dont brag about doing something for survival out of desperation. im eating dandelions because its the only way to save money so we can have enough to get out of this hole the system tries to trap me in and save enough scraps to crawl out. dony tell me how im wrong or how you tjink it works or actually works or should work or what your aunt sarahs situation is because you dont know shit about my life and im not going to explain it all.

 I'm TC's legal representative.  For SSI.  In the same state as you. lol

Yes but tc is in a rent free situation and Hos family feeds him.

They don't feed me. 

While I agree that either way it's not really a livable sum, it is in fact more than you're meant to be getting, and more than the nothing it takes to live on dandelions and dumpster diving.  A life I'm versed in myself, and can also go into detail on, should you choose to exploit the justification.  If you want to talk about living on less than $60/month, boy have I got some stories for you.

Its actually not. i have lived on very little a month before btw. Chill. This isnt a contest.

She's moreso correcting how poor you aren't, which is otherwise on topic with the OP. 

she herself admitted im way below the poverty line

if you're not receiving payment in checks.  You've been on SSI for some time, as I understand, and receiving payments.  Unless you mean that your food stamps haven't shown up, in which case you have SSI money you could be using instead. 

That goes to trying to becone self sufficient and crawl out if this hole.

Food's not that pricy if you go for stuff like noodles. 
wrong. If you have 500 and free rent its easy, thags 250 difference rather than rent which is 500 difference. Then the rest of your money goes to food and utilities and you have nothing left at the end of each month, with them randomly forgetting to send checks every now and then and landlords dont always accept backpay as an excuse. Then you are stuck in the cycle forever. The onky way out id to decrese or eliminate the food and other basic needs with some creativity. Thats the only way to slowly save until someday you might escape, until they discover you saved more than 2000$ and take it all away.

You also chose to move to Hawaii, giving up your rent-free situation to pay an overpriced rental fee for a literal fucking tent. That doesn't scream 'desperation' to me.  It screams poor financial management.

Wrong. We had to pay rent and news flash where we are going is cheaper and also provides some food. you clearly know nothing of my life.

She knows about SSI though. 

 

Thats the kost bullshit random illogical- what does that have to do with how she is wrong here? also ssi is only hakf the picture. she dies not know about me or MY life.



Speaking of, doesn't SSI not want you to have more than $2000 in assets? 

Exactly, rhwy want you to be stucl forever, but as your girlfriend says, stocking up is what you SHOULD do If you ever wanr ti ascame.

if this were purely victimhood shit i wouldn't say oh but hey, i might escape i have hope Wish me luck.

Ackshully, there's definitely 'victimhood shit' that involves that sort of language. If they don't make it sound like they're at least trying then there's less room for sympathy. 

 I said im trying. Go back to school and learn to read. i even showed my solution. 

I dont live with mommy and daddy, i live in the real world and im sorry if living wirh mommy and daddy on ssi made things easier, but i dont have that. Not everyone is in tc land. Ssi without mommy snd daddy can be hard, and most dont make it when they fall throufh the cracks unless they find a way around things

$750 per month is the maximum if you're paying rent.  You're staying with family instead of paying rent.  Which means you should be getting just over $500, max.  But, as you once boasted, you're lying to them about your living situation to maximize payments.

You also chose to move to Hawaii, giving up your rent-free situation to pay an overpriced rental fee for a literal fucking tent. That doesn't scream 'desperation' to me.  It screams poor financial management.

I don't doubt you're under the poverty line, and that it's stressful.  Many people here are.  But let's not roleplay that you're like some potato famine victim, dying on the roadside with grass stains around your lips.  You're hoarding SSI.  I've got no beef with that, it's sensible, and honestly, fuck their system.  But you're fine.  You have money, and a support network.  And you only made this thread to congratulate yourself on your victimhood.

Based on how much SSI pays, aka the same money we use for food without using food stamps. 

if you're not receiving payment in checks.  You've been on SSI for some time, as I understand, and receiving payments.  Unless you mean that your food stamps haven't shown up, in which case you have SSI money you could be using instead. 

That goes to trying to becone self sufficient and crawl out if this hole.

Food's not that pricy if you go for stuff like noodles. 

wrong.

$1.35 for a box of noodles. 

Then the rest of your money goes to food and utilities

How much have you been spending on utilities? 

until they discover you saved more than 2000$ and take it all away.

Don't save more than $2000..? 

You also chose to move to Hawaii, giving up your rent-free situation to pay an overpriced rental fee for a literal fucking tent. That doesn't scream 'desperation' to me.  It screams poor financial management.

Just learn to budget and you'd be doing alright. If you've saved over $2000 then you should be able to afford food and rent.

 I'm TC's legal representative.  For SSI.  In the same state as you. lol

Yes but tc is in a rent free situation and Hos family feeds him. Even with 500 thats a 250 difference whi h is better than rent

I was under the impression that you also don't pay rent.  You said that's how you were getting extra, by not telling that to your SSI agent.  Maybe your situation has changed since, but that's what you were saying at the time.  I also don't really see what that has to do with the quoted portion, obviously you and TC's situations will have differences, I'm merely pointing out that I have an intimate familiarity with the system you're claiming I know nothing about.  We probably even have to deal with the same office and case agents. lol

 

$750 per month is the maximum if you're paying rent.  You're staying with family instead of paying rent.  Which means you should be getting just over $500, max.  But, as you once boasted, you're lying to them about your living situation to maximize payments.

I have been paying rent actually. naw i wasnt boasting about shit you misunderstood. I attempted to be able to be in that situation but if i say, had entered it, it was one month and thag member ended io charging me more than my check. I have paid more rent than my vheck a lot

Your own family is charging you more for rent than SSI gives you for it?  That's pretty shitty of them.  Have you considered moving in with roommates instead?  Roommates can cut down on rent costs massively.  Also, since you're into farming, you may want to look into the WWOOF program.  Part time volunteer work on organic farms in exchange for room and board.  That could potentially allow you to live comfortably, eliminate both rent and food costs, and still save your SSI payments.  It helped me out of some shitty situations in the past, I highly recommend it.

 

I lost my job due to Covid, and in the meantime,

Same. Want a cookie? again with the contest

You really ate up MissComm "standing up for you", huh?  Even though you didn't notice that she was calling both of us broke losers competing with eachother for the broke loser crown. XD

And yes, I would like a cookie.  But more to the point, why do you keep competing?  My statement about losing my job was to explain that in recency we've been living entirely off of SSI, as opposed to that+my income.  I'm explaining our own financial situation to demonstrate how the money can be used potentially more effectively.  It's difficult, but not impossible.  However, if all you care about is proving that your life is worse than everyone else's, this conversation is not going to get anywhere.

 

TC's payments, without lying about our rent situation, is enough to cover food costs.  And we're not even on food stamps, like you are.

Im not on em i never got the card. Why tf do you think im eating weird shit?

 

Because you don't want to use your SSI money for what it was meant to be used for.  Which is valid, but the tone of your post didn't sound like it was about a choice you're making.

 

 

And if it's truly been ten times in a row, you're in for a sizeable backpay, which I imagine you know.

Actually no, they reset the card after a certain amount of time, i lost over 600$

I'll take your word for it, since I'm not familiar with the foodstamp system.  And the bureaucracy has been absolutely fucked since Covid.  TC doesn't even technically have a case manager we can call right now, they're an absolute mess. -_-

 

You also chose to move to Hawaii, giving up your rent-free situation to pay an overpriced rental fee for a literal fucking tent. That doesn't scream 'desperation' to me.  It screams poor financial management.

Wrong. We had to pay rent and news flash where we are going is cheaper and also provides some food. you clearly know nothing of my life.

There are cheaper places in Ohio than what you're planning to pay for that tent, if you're willing to have roommates.  Hell, even without roommates, if you go through certain programs.  Maybe you should explore your options more.  You might be surprised what you can get.

 

I don't doubt you're under the poverty line, and that it's stressful.  Many people here are.  But let's not roleplay that you're like some potato famine victim, dying on the roadside with grass stains around your lips. 

Naw, i just said i feel trapoed, never said i was dying on the roadside. 

Hyperbole. lol

It's understandable that you feel trapped in poverty.  I'm moreso responding to you talking about how you're unable to eat, beyond weeds and dumpster food.

 

You're hoarding SSI.  I've got no beef with that, it's sensible, and honestly, fuck their system.

Hoarding it with what sacrifices? it is sad that we are in a system where this is what disabled people have to do to slowly make a place for themselves in the world. Obviously no one owes me anything but if i wanna vent, and also add that i have hope, then let me. If anything this thread was patting myself on the back- about going through shit and prevailing despite everything to succeed. If this were victim shit i wouldn't have that. A victim has no escape. I will escape. But obviously the process is years and years and years of bs and if i want to anon vent let me. And let me have ny hope

I'm not stopping you.  But if you put yourself out there on a public forum, people can respond.  You're welcome to express yourself, and so am I.

 

 crawling out if a hole is stressful. Even you admit this. I am no victim no one owes me shit, i am just unfortunate and ita stressful. This is the internet, if you have a problem with me venting and you want to act like you know about my life yet be so wrong thats on yoU. like i said, i dont give a shit about your aunt sarah, cus i aint her and this is my life. if this were purely victimhood shit i wouldn't say oh but hey, i might escape i have hope Wish me luck.

 Am I so wrong?  You've corrected two things.  That you are now paying rent, which is definitely a factor, I agree.  And that foodstamps don't do backpay, which I didn't know.  However, the rest of the premise remains.

Oh yeah, also this. ^  This is why I'm specifically talking about managing food costs.

She's moreso correcting how poor you aren't, which is otherwise on topic with the OP.

Yeah, to be honest, it's kinda weird that they keep assuming I'm poor and proud of it.  I said I manage your SSI, not that I'm on SSI myself. lol  But I guess it's convenient for the narrative.

 

Speaking of, doesn't SSI not want you to have more than $2000 in assets?

I believe it's actually $1500 or something.  After that you stop receiving payments, because SSI is only meant as a bandage for poverty, not a solution.

I will buy some basic land soon and make a small farm so i can carr for my family someday. i am also going to try my hand at stock. Wish me lucK.

Um... Aren't you on SSI?  And didn't you brag about scamming them for more money than you're supposed to be getting?  If you're living on dandelions, you may want to rethink your spending habits. lol

 you clearly dont know anything about how ssi works. I am living on 750 a month and i am approved for food stamps but it never comes in the mail. due to covid i cant pick it up and tjey have resent the card 10+ times a d it never comes. No i dont brag about doing something for survival out of desperation. im eating dandelions because its the only way to save money so we can have enough to get out of this hole the system tries to trap me in and save enough scraps to crawl out. dony tell me how im wrong or how you tjink it works or actually works or should work or what your aunt sarahs situation is because you dont know shit about my life and im not going to explain it all.

 I'm TC's legal representative.  For SSI.  In the same state as you. lol

Yes but tc is in a rent free situation and Hos family feeds him.

They don't feed me. 

While I agree that either way it's not really a livable sum, it is in fact more than you're meant to be getting, and more than the nothing it takes to live on dandelions and dumpster diving.  A life I'm versed in myself, and can also go into detail on, should you choose to exploit the justification.  If you want to talk about living on less than $60/month, boy have I got some stories for you.

Its actually not. i have lived on very little a month before btw. Chill. This isnt a contest.

She's moreso correcting how poor you aren't, which is otherwise on topic with the OP. 

she herself admitted im way below the poverty line

I do, I agree you're decidedly below the poverty line.  And you have my sympathies for that, poverty sucks ass.  But I also think you're dramatizing what you're experiencing for attention, exaggerating the severity.  Like TC, you do have a support network and access to resources, and that's a very different thing from poverty without those things.  You also have more money than you're letting on, while conveniently leaving out that you not eating is in fact, a choice.  I'm also concerned that your money may not be getting handled in a way that's actually going to help your future and let you and BR live comfortably.  These were my objections, not to the notion of you being poor at all, or that it's hard for you.

 

if you're not receiving payment in checks.  You've been on SSI for some time, as I understand, and receiving payments.  Unless you mean that your food stamps haven't shown up, in which case you have SSI money you could be using instead. 

That goes to trying to becone self sufficient and crawl out if this hole.

Food's not that pricy if you go for stuff like noodles. 
wrong. If you have 500 and free rent its easy, thags 250 difference rather than rent which is 500 difference. Then the rest of your money goes to food and utilities and you have nothing left at the end of each month, with them randomly forgetting to send checks every now and then and landlords dont always accept backpay as an excuse.

Even if the landlord is your own family?  They'd kick you out because of a late check?

 
I dont live with mommy and daddy, i live in the real world

With auntie? XD

 

and im sorry if living wirh mommy and daddy on ssi made things easier, but i dont have that. Not everyone is in tc land. Ssi without mommy snd daddy can be hard, and most dont make it when they fall throufh the cracks unless they find a way around things

See, this is part of what I'm talking about.  You're making it sound like you have no support network whatsoever.  And on top of that, you keep making it a competition, about how your life is worse than his, which is I think kind of driving home the point.
