I am sorry that you are struggling financially and yes, I have been there. When I was 20 y/o I was living in a room that cost $10 per week. No kitchen privileges, no way to cook or refrigerate food. Just a room with roaches and a shared bathroom. I made very little money working at McDonalds. I would eat a burger each day when I was working and when I returned to my room I would heat a can of tuna in my popcorn popper. It was a very depressing situation particularly because I did not know how to get a better job or afford an apartment.

Eventually I did find a way though. These days money is still tight but I am keeping my head above water.

I wish you luck.
