It's doable tho, there are tons of good websites geared towards living on the cheap.

Thanks Anika, I will ask for them when the time comes. I am now receiving california state disability insurance which allows me to stay where I rent, but that will run out in December. I will apply to more permanent (SSDI) in June and then it will take from 6 months to a couple of years during which I might need to live off credit cards. As soon as California disability insurance runs out, I can move to a cheaper state. And that is probably for the better because here everything reminds me of the missteps I took. There will be a clean slate. Right?
