The solution is obvious, the cleanup is well defined.

I don't know if I should post this in the Lounge or what, but I'm in a pinch and trying to figure out how to fix this quick...

Just got paid last Friday, after groceries and a couple bills I am now down to $3.70 for the next 2 weeks and kinda freaking out.
I gotta be able to put gas in the car to get to work and next payday is a week from Friday!
~~

Got a keyboard and a bike I can try and sell on FB Marketplace

Otherwise wondering what the heck can we do to create some $$ quickly.

I don't have time for online work. I *do* have 2 teens I might be able to pawn out for yardwork, but I don't even know where to start, or how safe it is...

I have a couple good comics I can unload, wonder where to do that? Craigslist?

I'm going to guess that this is the culmination of a couple of decades of less than excellent choices, plus or minus a bit of "bad luck". Does this DUpipo have a history of beg-threads?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

And groceries...

He/she/it will eat, but his car will have to starve for the next 2 weeks because of it...

And since he/she/it needs the car to earn more money for groceries, looks like he/she/it will be starving 3 weeks from now...   :lol:

Has DUmmie never heard of a pawn shop?  I’m sure they have an item or 2 a pawn shop might give them enough for gas.

Does it matter f you smoke pot?
Or if you have Hypertension ?

I take Immunosuppressants for psoriasis, that could also be a problem.

So, sell your and your kids' stash for some quick cash. And if you're lucky you'll get several weeks' free room and board, and being off the "Immunosuppressants" will quickly result in Bruno and Bertha being uninterested in you.

I got the "Just-got-Paid" Blues


Fuuuuck! I am so tired of working my ass off and barely scraping by.

I literally JUST got paid yesterday, now after the car ins and phone bill, got declined at the grocery store... not to mention gas and electric still due...

This ****ing WORLD, man! Been trying to find a better job for a year at least. Not an option to move for better opportunities, kids still in HS and I'm not good with transition like that anyway.
So all I can do is show up for work Monday, and do what I do.

Begged and borrowed some pasta and potatoes from a friend to help the next couple dinners along. Got pb&J and eggs still... gonna be asking my mom for help if I can. But ugh...the ONLY time I feel flush of for a few weeks after the tax return, and then it's back to scraping for life. I'm SO OVER IT!!!

and if I was to grow food etc for us in our yard, it would still be 6 months before I had results...

This whole "money" thing just means I get to worry about it all the time, not just once a season or whatever like my ancestors.

Not the brightest bulb in the knife drawer. Living paycheck to paycheck is one thing, but refusal to do long-range things that would improve the situation is planning to perpetuate the situation. Johnny and Janey need to be told, "We're moving. Suck it up and study at your new high school or take the GED and get a job."

My question is what is different about his paycheck than the others? What caused you to need extra money now that didn't happen the last paycheck? Answer those questions and you may not need to go begging to DU in two weeks.
