This is probably the last time I'll see you guys, atleast for a very long time. Seems like murphys law has a crush on me cause it just wont leave me alone. My net is getting turned off probably at the end of the month. Not like that will matter, as you'll see below. I don't have a job (Not by choice..) and I can't find one, I've applied everywhere, and I'm not even getting a call saying that they either don't need me, want me, or have room for me. I owe $191.00 for my net bill which I can't afford.

Also, I'll probably be on the streets, or in a shelter soon. My mom owes the Government $1,700.00 because the person doing her companies 'tax with-holding' thing screwed up on almost everyones tax with-holdings and so my mom owes for money she thought was being payed for. We're 2-3 months behind in our Apartments rent, so thats roughly $1,800.00 + our electric, we owe $291.00 so it's getting shut off the 19th of this month (Thus why the net at the end of the month doesn't really matter, no power = no net anyways...) she also owes $150.00 for her insurance + $200.00 for her car itself, so were prettymuch $4,200.00 in debt on just her side. Recently she was injured on the job, so now shes not even makingher full paychecks, last one we ogt was $300.00, which is prettymuch all gone. She used her birthday money from the 14th to buy groceries, which is now all gone.

When I moved in with my mom after my dad had a stroke eight years ago, she was in a halfway-house, where they let you live till you get a job, and can get on your own two feet, or till you've used too much time and get kicked out. I thought we were finally getting back to a normal life again. So I expect to soon be on the streets or in a shelter, again. We're probably going to have to gather up the stuff we can't afford to lose and have our family hold onto it so we don't start completely from scratch again.

They call America the land of oppourtunity, where they encourage entropenuership, yet they try their damndest to make it hard as hell to do so. We began trying to sell gift items recently, but thanks to laws where we live, if we don't have 3 liscenses, for every sale we make, we have to pay Tempe $15 for. Plus we could face fines, and jail time after we've sold a certain amount...

So, Goodbye to all my friends. I don't know when or if I'll ever see you all again. If anyone has any ideas on what me and my mom can do, please, feel free to share them...

Aye. And thanks for the idea verona, but sadly I don't think the Govt will care :/ and because of the extensions we've asked for, like the electric bill till, well either it ends tonight or tomorrow (never can be sure..) but eh.. idk. Been applying to every job i can find online lately, and even came a cross an 'Extra's' job, where I'd be like a person in the background of the T.V. shows, movies etc that we all watch, which might be kinda cool, and it pays well, I don't need any experience, but i've taken drama classes before so that might gimme that lil boost above the rest. Heres to my last bit of hope for now. And everyone keep your fingers crossed that our apt will keep letting us live here till were back on our feet. they've been good about it so-far, so lets hope that charity isn't running thin! and IF i do get on that extras thing, i'll let you know who I am, so you can tell your friends "OMG, i know who that person who isn't a main character is!'

I would say maybe your mom could file for an extention on those taxes, but thats the only thing I could possibly think of to help besides Welfare. There's also food stamps, but I know those can take a long time to apply for. ;  ; I know it must be stressful on your mom, but also you, its a hardship that no one could know or understand unless they've experianced it themselves. I hope everything turns out ok for you both, and you can get back on your feet and live a happy life, even if you don't come back to us here at Myffxi.com, Goodluck and have strength.
