Are your expenses outpacing your earnings currently?

24. As an artist then as a teacher I could never earn enough

to survive, whether it was in Phila., PA in 1984 or San Diego, CA since then. My old friends still ask me if I buy "used" food. Yes, I do because I HAVE to. When you are single and have health issues your whole life and must work for health insurance, you save every damn penny. Thanks a lot fucking GOP!!! I wish every politician did not have any health insurance EVER and then maybe they would start to see the real picture, but I doubt even that would effect their selfish, hateful miserable existence.

I have eaten out once in the last 4 years and that is NORMAL for me (it was with a gift card or I wouldn't be able to). I haven't seen a movie in 4 years and that is NORMAL for me. I haven't bought new clothes, never have had my haircut by anyone else in 30 years, my last vacation was in 2005. I can not afford to buy anything except for when it is 15 years old and broken. No $$$ for a phone since 2011, no new car since 2010, no money for heat (I burn candles), or new eye glasses, etc. When someone bitches about not having $$$ to me it falls on deaf ears. I am living in near poverty in San Diego. Everyone here has tons more money than I do and they do not even want to even know what my
existence is like since they are embarrassed. I spend all of my money on old/expiration date food, health bills, and gas and electricity and TAXES. I pay my taxes yet those who can afford to pay taxes cheat since they know how to do it and hire the right accountants. I am not having a nice life at all!!!!!
