Money issues

Former Member

I know I won't be the only one but I am sick and tired of having no money. I work a full time job and earn what I thought was a decent wage for someone my age. I have cancelled every subscription I had. I am down to only paying essential bills and rent. I have down to one meal a day. I can't afford new shoes so stuck with the ones that have water leaking in for winter. I can't get any help from the council cause of my salary. They don't seem to understand that if you live alone everything twice as expensive.

Just super tired of it all. Everytime I feel like I am getting out something drastic happens that ends up costing me more money. I just lost a 1/4 of my salary cause my company don't pay sick pay so only got SSP. So got no idea what I am doing for food next month. Just freaking out and tired of it all.

Do I take out a loan?

So sorry to hear Willow, I know this experience will resonate with a lot of people right now. I think the best thing is to go to Citizens Advice - they've got lots of helpful resources on what support is available, so worth a shot!

@Willow I'm sorry to hear going through this. It sounds terrible having to live in this uncertainty and the unknown of the future. As @Azziman mentioned Citizens Advice can provide some great resources and support https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/debt-and-money/get-help-with-the-cost-of-living/
You may be able to find appropriate resources from your local council website.

I wish we could do more for you.

Keep us updated,
Fiona.
