Money issues

Post Reply New Topic

Okay here is my story....

I got offered by the college when I was doing a school link with my college on Painting and Decorating and the teach discovered that I had talents so he decided to ask my teacher if I was ready to leave school since they gave me a reserved space for me for Arts and Media.

Now here comes the problem....

1) The college foods and equipments are expensive.
2) DLA (Disability Living Allowance) suddenly decided to pay me £100 per month instead of £285
3) My EMA doesn't seem to be coming.
4) I literally have to pay £10 per month for travel and my bus route is outrageous that I'm paying for 2 buses sometimes.
5) I spend it on phone bills
6) Every month, $25 converted into english money goes to keep this site running.
7) I'm also subscribed to many things

What should I do? I'm literally getting broke and I'm deeply upset and I STILL want to support this site, what should I do?

If you're EMA has stopped coming then you should ring them and ask about it. I know a few people who have had problems with it going through, myself included.
Can you not appeal about you disability living allowance? It might not work but it's worth a try. I mean the forms that they give are always designed in the first place so that you get the lowest money possible.
Ummm I don't really know what else to suggest. Perhaps you could still donate to WP except a bit less than you usually do. Is there anywhere else you could cut your spending? Or maybe earn a little bit of money on the side?

I shall try that indeed, UGH! I hate phone conversations, sometimes I have to let my mum do that for me.



I could try and explain that, already did twice but unfortunately they refused to change things so I have to be stuck with this from now on.



I might think about that, but it seems the minimum amount you can donate is $25.

get a job that will pay you in cash. there is no record and you keep your disability

I'm also working on that at the moment, I'm trying to look for part time jobs plus at this rate, I ain't even capable of working in very crowded places.

I could try and work at my dad's restaurant, but the only problem is that he stupidly quit the job because he was apparently the manager there. So yet he ended up doing other things and getting in trouble which he has mentioned on WP under the name of "aqualoy".

Doubt they would accept me, but I would be very surprised if they did.... But it would mean that I have to get used to the crowds.

ever try day labor? in cities, big stores or markets hire guys to move boxes move clothes racks from the truck to the backroom. its first ciome first serve though, most pay cash

Yeah or you could try selling stuff. My cousin sometimes fixes up X-boxes and then sells them for a profit on E-bay. I do errands and a couple of times I've delivered leaflets for some extra cash.

I think you should only subscribe or donate when you have the spare money to do it. Wrongplanet can survive without your money, but that $25 could really help you stay on your feet.

Thanks ebec11 and everyone else who suggested I should drop the monthly donation... I've decided to drop the donation, however, I will go ahead with the idea that ebec11 suggested if I have any spare money, I should do it from then.

Now I need to also cancel some of the subscriptions i've signed up to in the past and I shall be good to go, hopefully I will be able to save up some money at least.

yea there is plenty of free porn on the net you shouldnt have to pay for it
