Hello I am currently 15 years old and I am just looking for advice on where to get money to completely move out of my toxic household (my parent and whoever she brings home abuse substance, I don't really have any other relatives, and if I do they are the same and far away, mom literally forbids me going to school now because I need to help around the house and will abuse me further if i try to go to school) . I am in a really urgent situation, currently I'm staying at a friends house (she is 18 so she can help move out if i pay half the rent) . I have escaped 3 days ago and I have to start saving up to move out. My parents know that I am gone but they don't really care, my sister escaped almost the same way when she was 16 in my country and the legal age of working is 16 but I only turned 15 two months ago so I can't get a job. I really really cannot go back there as the abuse has moved to being physical and very intense. Before I get this advice no I cannot js report it to any authorities they will just put me in an orphans home where the liveing conditions are insanely bad and I WILL lose my last belongings. I live in post soviet country and the whole system here is fucked up so trust me I have tried everything I can already. They justify beating children. I went to a school physchologist last year and she just told me I deserve it because if i get beaten it meant i did something wrong. Are there any worldwide sites where I could get money no matter my age because literally no one will hireme here. Would literally do anything. I know english, russian and my native language (dont want to mention in reddit), I can write and read pretty fast, I am F15, I can draw and animate somewhat, but not too good. I am desperate.

also sorry i have never posted to reddit so idk how to use it yet

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I've been unemployed for the last two months and have only been living off of very little handouts from my mom, loans from some friends, some side jobs that only pay enough for a week's worth of groceries, and the grace and mercy of some of my other friends who are kind enough to treat me. I have been job hunting for weeks to no avail and I'm about to miss out on paying rent this month. Does anybody know any more short term side jobs I can do just to keep the lights on until I find a regular job.

Much appreciated

Location: Salt Lake City/Ogden area. The shelters have people smoking meth and crack outside them. There is NO WAY to get to the shelters without walking past their drug smoking. I am SO not about that shit. Also... the shelter had me waiting 6 hours for a bed. The 2 nights before that I wasn't even able to get in after waiting hours.. Some lesbian tried to start a fight with me too.. Currently working at Amazon saving up for a room to rent

IM NOT ASKING FOR MONEY JUST VENTING!!!! sitting here trying not to cry bc im no where close to being able to pay my rent and utilities this month, my "roommates" say they can't help bc his check was short but yet they stayed in a hotel for 4 days. My bf Unintentionally got arrested last week and he had our money towards rent. So possible going to be out by next week.

My toxic parents are trying to force me to come with them to my parents home country in Africa(my family's background is Nigerian) and to travel with them when I tell them very clearly that I don't want to do that. Everytime I go back home, I feel infinitely a lot more worse than before. That's hard to explain but it's very difficult for me. My mental and spiritual state gets far more worse and something weird is happening to me a lot. I have made it very clear to them that I am not interested in traveling with them anywhere, especially back home. I am unfortunately dependent on my parents and I want to move away from them IMMEDIATELY. My family is very controlling and pushy in my life. My parents are extremely pushy as hell to the point of aggressively violating certain boundaries. I live in New York City. Unfortunately, I have two closed credit cards totaling about $550 and some student loan debt of $15,000 from college. I am looking to boost my income up to $50k-$60k to at least survive on my own. I am willing to live with a different roommate or somebody else for once. I feel completely broken. I don't want to stay with my parents any longer because this is getting very bad. I have a small security job but I am not making that much from it as well. It's very hard to deal with this. They are planning on keeping me there in Nigeria and burning my American passport. I don't want to live like that.

Please Help me find a new space to live, My mother has been threatening to kick me out recently. She has NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).

I am on SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) for PTSD, so I have a stable income. I am looking for a room to rent in Texas, either Dallas/Fort worth area or Austin Texas. If anyone has a room to rent for $600 or less, Please let me know and please share this with others who may know someone. I do have enough right now for a deposit.

Info about myself: I love to read, paint, draw, write poetry, and do yoga. I am very mild mannered and I'm an introvert as well. My Myers Briggs type is INFP, so I'm really focused on kindness and empathy. I value respecting people's personal space and privacy. I am a neat/tidy person. I'm 34 and I don't smoke, drink, or party at all. My worst habit is my sweet tooth. I get along with most everyone. I love reading about different philosophies and world views. I am very open minded and accepting.

I am open to suggestions and advice.

Thanks and Blessings,

Rebecca

Hello,

I've saved up $4,300 from working double shifts and doing doordash, but I'm starting to feel burnt out. Next week, I'm planning to take a break and relax in Calif before coming back to Arizona to keep this mayhem going. Right now, I'm still sleeping in rental cars and showering at the gym, but luckily I found someone who lets me do laundry at their place, which has been a huge help. I let my boss know ahead of time about my break, and he approved it, which | really appreciate.

Hope y’all r doing great and thank you again for the positive feedback

So I worked security and was almost living paycheck to paycheck I had a bit of savings but I found an opportunity to do some live in security job at a resort in Michigan. I thought it would be a cool chance to travel a bit and save money. I interviewed and they wanted me to go right away but I asked for two weeks to l leave my job on good terms break my lease and pack my stuff. So the two weeks goes by im moved out I left my job and im figuring out travel details and all of the sudden they wanna push things back a week nbd. Ive signed all the employment docs passed a background check I still think everything is cool. That was 6 weeks ago every week they push it back and push it back barely communicating with me when I reach out and ive pretty much eaten through all my savings staying in a hotel a couple weeks then on friends couches. So I went from having a home a job and being ok to being homeless and jobless because I accepted a position with this company and at this point idk what I can even do. Its hard to get housing in oregon and I had to break my lease all for the promise of this job. That now if they were to say ok were ready I cannot even afford the travel costs to. Im out thousands of dollars now it feels like and I have no way to recover.

I'm not talking about coolworks

Came across this guy doing an analysis of affordable zip codes that don't require a car.

I'm staying in a shelter in NYC rn and need some help getting a job. I'm also applying for food stamps and Medicaid. Is there anything else I can do to better my situation?

Personally i would like to be out but when my current optins are staying in the house or living in my car i choosing to ride out the clock

I have never felt so worthless and hopeless:

• Unemployed for 8 months the job market is BRUTAL right now.
• Unemployment insurance benefits exhausted
• savings account depleted
• injured and no car after being rear ended I’m really scared of what could be next.

I'm not sure why I'm posting here. I just needed to get it out and hope maybe someone has advice I haven't heard or thought of. :/

System failed.

I’m a single mom navigating a shutdown moment — every so-called support network ghosted, denied, or bounced me between broken links. Food banks are dry. Housing help keeps shifting the rules. Gas is on E.

I’m not asking for pity or pocket change. I’m asking: what’s left that works? Where do real ones go when the systems close the door?

I can work. I can make. I can trade. I can move. But I’m tapped out and tired of fake lifelines.

DM if you’ve been through it and found a crack in the wall.

No fluff, no savior talk. Just real answers from people who remember how it feels to run on zero and still try.

Hello. It appears that my wife and I are separating and I am going to be living out of my mini van for a while. I am currently unemployed with about $2200 to my name. I was thinking about heading to Vegas to try and find work/ live out of my van. The main reason I was thinking LV was because work. But I don’t know what I’ll work in. The job market has to be better than northern Colorado at this point. Is there like shelters/ places to take a shower there fairly abundantly? Places to park my van? I’ve never been homeless before so there’s a lot that I have not planned/ am ready for. I’m a 31M with work experience, particularly in retail and then industrial chemicals. Not too sure what other information might be relevant.

Okay I'm in a ruralvtown, no vehicle, no friends with vehical,staying in a tent on a friends family property so I'm legally safe there but recently filed a abusive relationship where I was left to completely start over with everything even down to wallet and toiletries. Applied to all government services I could think of like snap,healthcare for my now PTSD and depression with a healthy side of anxiety but really needing some basics and food would be awesome. Any advice?
