I don't know why you're back-peddling now and claiming you're not poor/proud of being poor. You and TC don't pay rent - you live with parents?
We're getting on Delora's case for effectively 'Woe is Me'-ing
venting and also expressing hoPe.
Eating off the ground and out of the trash, unnecessarily, while continuing to go on about how much SSI's confused you, how food's too expensive, and how Utilities drain a good chunk of your money when you could probably be cutting those down as well.
about having to eat out of the trash by her own, Pica-fueled volition,
I dont eat out if garbage for pica i do it to be able to actually save money and get out if this situation one day
You could avoid eating trash if you budget.
Eating bland meh food is typically better than trash and flowers. I can't imagine you're even getting any real calories out of flowers.
as if you look at much of what she's saying there's contradictions in there. Delora's the one who's trying to say it's some sort of contest
And ms.C because thats what your gf was trying to do, practically wanted a butterfly chart
MissComm is always looking for a reason to jab at me and her though, her opinion's so biased it's opportunistic. As she said, all it takes is some reading comprehension to notice what her points were actually about.
It's not a contest, and the sooner you drop that view the sooner it can be about ways you can save money.
from missing the point of the message, again, when we've otherwise been going on about ways that she could use that money better based on how we've been using it.
BASED ON HOW YOU HAVE BEEN USING IT. you are i a different situation than me. Also thats not all your gf was doing dude, if thats all she did it would be fine. but she was being a bitch to.
We have the same SSI, albeit with you making $200 more than me and with BR bringing in money. There is no reason you have to be eating out of the trash, that's a choice.
So at this point though you're more mad about some sense of tone, rather than the message itself? All she's done is say that she knows how to live on not very much money, and if you'd stop 'woe is me'-ing so much about 'the hole you're in' you might learn something.
She keeps trying to make it personal when all we're otherwise trying to do is demonstrate that there's ways to make it work. If she's struggling this much on around $700 a month here, imagine how much of a struggle that will be with Hawaii prices.
hawaii being to expensive is a rumor.
What sort of living there makes it not expensive? The cost of living there even with lower rent would still be higher, right?
it depends on what you buy and what you eat. Our rent will already be affordable so thats step one.
...so more flowers and trash then?
Delora's makes an extra $200 more than my SSI grants from being listed on file as paying rent
Cus i do. Again you have a 250 difference whicb is cheaoer than rent.
You also have BR bringing in money don't you?
Rent can also get pretty cheap if you live with roommates.
and has reported that the Social Security people have taken money from her for having over the allotted amount. With some simple discussion a lot of what she's going through could be averted, rather than reducing it into this petty ego mess, and her confusion sounds like it's had her lose money without even trying to contest it. She even has BR bringing in money, why the hell is she eating flowers?
Br has only had a job for so long and it was a temp job. I eat flowrrs because it is free food and free food means more money and more money means getting out of this trap faster.
Flowers aren't real food, you have to procure an entire cup of them to even get 25 calories out of it and there's basically no nutrients in it at all.
Temp job or not he's still bringing in extra money isn't he?
All she'd have to do is stop making it personal and it'd become a discussion about money.
Notice how ithers who were just doing that, i was cool with em. Your gf was being a bitch plain and simple. Over a situation she didnt understand.
She just wasn't taking your shit seriously over how you're being melodramatic. Your situation can be more affordable if you'd budget more, as you should be getting around at least 1500 calories a day (60 cups of dandelions).
