Not once
I've been working full time for almost 10 years now helping prop up this failed economy, and this country has convinced me it hates me and wants me to die.
I don't get any help from any institutions because I don't qualify, but I can't save money because i live paycheck to paycheck. If I lose this job I have 2 months until I'm homeless and have to KMS.
Just paid taxes so they don't imprison me for it, despite setting up witholding on my pay i still owed $1600 i couldn't afford so now I am doing a 2 month payment plan on my fucking taxes.
I need to get out of this country before living here kills me
I've been in that exactly that same spot. Poor, but not poor enough. Getting by is a struggle, but it is possible, so you keep going, but there's never anything left over, so you're never really getting anywhere. It really can feel like you are treading water in the ocean.
Best of luck to you. I hope things go your way soon. Don't give up!
