Anyone else really struggling to make ends meet? It feels like I keep cutting things out over and over. Less and less each month, but I’m still having a hard time. No cell phone. No tv. I haven’t even bought myself new clothes in over a year… what the heck is going on??!????? Am I sailing this sea of struggle and frustration alone??

It's not just you.  
 
It's really hard to stay content and motivated when no matter what you do you you're struggling. I'm quite fortunate that I had the opportunity to go back to post-secondary, and I will be graduating next month. I am hopeful that I will be able to find a job that can support me, but underneath that hope there is a lot of fear. The same amount of money that I used to make before just doesn't go nearly as far as it used to.

Inflation is making life hard. You can’t buy bread milk and eggs for under $20.00. And buying bulk is always good but when it’s not in the budget it’s hard. Many people are telling the tale of giving up a lot. Phones, cable, driving. And still have to choose medication/ housing/ food.

i noticed that your last post was about asking about free fulfillment.  
Are you seeking someone to talk too? places like the (wo)mans resources center, ask aunty, blue door, 7th st access, town center mental health, Elizbeth Reid center, red cross and food bank center and many of the churches?

I am not too sure which of my discussion posts you are referring to? I believe my last post was about returning a car to a dealership in an attempt to free up money?… hmm maybe I’m missing something. Thanks for your concern anyway. But I’m fine just seeing if anyone else is struggling.
