I am in trouble.

Food prices are sky high, as most other things due to inflation and I did not get a raised in my benefits for at least 2 years.

as some of you might or might not know, my aunt passed away 2 years ago.

My aunt passed away at a BAD, BAD time for me.

She left me money, which was taken care of by her executor, who was also her best friend.

This money could not be left directly to me cause I am on SSI (Supplementary Security Income) social security (disabled since birth with a visual handicap). I would have lost my SSI otherwise.

She sent me and my roommate a copy of the will, which of course had no legal rights for me to have that money, even though my aunt had made it CLEAR to me that tha tmoney was MINE.

She had sent us also a letter saying, that as long as I treated her with respect (she had different ideas of respect than I did) I would get that money.

So I had to ask my roommate for money yesterday because she told us that I could not ask her for this money unless I had "dental, medical, moving, visual emergencies".

my roommate is not doing too well financially either.

I hated asking him for money.

I am debating talking to this executor (in writing; she doesn't want us to call her) and saying, "Look! I never put you down or called yuo names, or treated you badly. I already apologized for a misunderstanding we had 1 year ago. I need that money! I can't depend on Bruce! And I don't deserve to be punished!"
