Poverty meal
When I am really broke like I am today, I go to Burger King and get their 10 piece chicken nuggets with honey mustard sauce for $1.49 plus tax and use my change to get a can of Arizona ice tea for 99 cents plus tax. So for less than $3, I got a little meal. I do what I got to do.
I never know how much money I am going to have each week, it depends on how many appointments I have and what tips I get, so it’s hard to set a budget. I have been robbing Peter to pay Paul for years now. It’s getting old. For once I would like to not have to worry about paying my bills. Guess that will happen once I am dead.
Collecting SS will help because at least I will have a set amount coming in each month so I can plan better. But it’s still not enough so I have to keep working as long as I can do it. After that, who knows?
My credit cards have been settled so right now I have no credit. So I can’t buy my kids anything for Christmas. They already know this. I feel badly about it but what can I do? Unless I win the lottery, nothing much.
Basically,I am flat broke. I need to slowly climb out of the hole and try and make it work somehow. So much for the golden years.

Question? Do you have something like the salvation army who gives toys to kids for Christmas or a food bank that will give you a basic Christmas dinner? I have used both of these when my son was under 19 and it was a make or break holiday season for both of us…..
@jaythesmartone My kids treated me to Christmas brunch, and I bought them gift cards and a lottery ticket each. Nobody win though.

I will be working for many more years to come too although I am hoping once I receive my social security benefit I will only need to work part time. Â Do you think that will be a possibility for you too?
@wildrose_2 Yes I will only be working part time from now on.
