Hiiii! This is not meant to be a depressing post at all, I just wanted to re-introduce myself. I was a member here (or more like big-time lurker with a user name) for maybe 3 years or so before today. The best job I’ve ever had told me three days ago that I was “suspended” for something I was not doing. As of yesterday I am officially fired.
I have 3 small children and have been struggling to make it since leaving an abusive relationship (again, this is not a sad post!) so the apartment I’m in right now is the first apartment I’ve ever gotten. I can’t imagine losing my home.
I lurked here in the forums mainly because I toyed around with cramming. Made 40 bucks here and 50 bucks there but I would always tell myself in the end that I need to stop bs’ing and concentrate on a REAL job. I don’t have the option of this “real” job now.
Daycare is $500 per child and no one in my family is willing or able to watch them for me. Which is why I’ve been working from home for so long. Its just a struggle to do with kids in the house, but now I don’t even have the doggone job. I thought of Uber driving, freelance writing...and then I remember cramming.
My first day back was day before yesterday and I made 50 bucks. Yesterday I made $100. Before this, the most I’ve ever made in a week was 50 dollars (I told you I used to bs on cam). So I’m hoping that I can keep my lowest days at the 100 mark and really grow from here. I don’t know if a whole story is needed when you introduce yourself but I gave one anyway lol.
I’m honestly scared you guys. The reality of being unemployed is terrifying. I was already
living paycheck to paycheck just above the poverty line so I hope this turns things around. And by “hope” I mean I’m well prepared to log on for 7 hours and work for it. Any regulars have a similar backstory? I’d love to just here a its going to be okay lol. I just caught a typo so forgive me if you find any more.
