Life and luck is such a pain in the ass at times. Here I am having lived with only 26 cents to my name and a few packs of Raman Noodles for the past 4 days.
I am really tired of surviving on noodles!!!!
Today I received my socal security check and the first thing I did was to buy some groceries and pay my past due room rent. Things have been tough for the last week; I could have really used some money for food.
Today, I was folding a pair of shorts that I had not used 5 months and felt a lump in the pocket: The lump was $61 in bills.
S.O.B…Here I was starving for the past week, having gone through all my change and selling my belongs for cash only to have had $61 after all.  Oh, *****!!!
Yea, you say that it was good luck instead of my usual bad luck, but the good luck was cancelled out by bad luck three days before. I decided to sell my Ibanez acustical guitar for some food money and while I was tuning it before taking it to the guitar shop to sell the bridge snapped off and ruined the guitar.
I can’t win for loosing
It sucks to be me!!!! 🙂

Same thing happened to me…i lived for 6yrs without a smart phone.then i finally had d money to buy 1 a week after that i lost it to some loser
Glad to hear that you found some cash Dead Right. Every dollar helps. The bridge of your guitar isn’t hard to repair if you have some super glue, sand paper etc. If you fixed up the guitar, you could probably still get some money for it.

I did a realy good job of repairing it with fast dry epoxy. I cleaned it up so it was next to impossible to see that it was broken but the guy at the guitar shop immediately picked up on it.
I should have sent it back to the factory since it had a lifetime warantee, but I could not afford the shipping costs. That really sucks!!! Hahaha

Dead Right ,
sorry but that sucks 26 cents and top Raman Noodles shit!!! i used to do that all the time when i was a straving musian. when things were good we treated ourselfs to bean burritos!!!! 🙂 in any event sorry for the bad luck. 🙁
There are food for the needy programs, get into one. Plan on having an extra $5, or $10, every month. Yeah, that’s right, a regular savings plan.
If you can’t store money any other way, places like Walmart have prepaid cards that cost $3 to put money on. Keep the card in your pocket, and it’s got a PIN, so nobody can drain it if they steal it from you.
I’ve looked at roms that are a step down from living in a tent, so for 6 or 8 months a year, have you considered living in a tent? You already have to take everything of value with you when you leave a room because it will vanish. You could save that $400/month up. Get a second Walmart card (limit is $1,00 0n it).
The city that I live in has a big program for senior citizens and I have applied for everything but for one reason or another, I am rejected or put on a one to two year long waiting list. There are no soup kitchens within reach of my motel and no other place to score a free meal. My Christmas meal was one microwaved hotdog (no bun) and a cup-o-noodles) My junky old car failed the state emmisions test so I cannot drive it and cannot afford to get it repaired.
I only wish that my room rent was only $400 a month…on that I could get by quite easilly. The motel is the cheapest one in the city and it costs me $752 per month…$175 a week times 4.3 weeks in a month= $752.50. At least all utilities are included.

Dear Dead RIght,
I dont know if you’re still around or chose your final exit but your story broke my heart. I am in Australia and suffering sever bout of depression whilst trying to get my drugs right. I am 44 and a woman so I guess in some way in a better situation – I have considered suicide but without easy access to guns here, its a much harder option but I truly understand your desire. I will say a little prayer for you (if you’re still here). My only one piece of advice (and I practice this myself) is to try to practice mindfulness whereby you separate yourself from the emotions, thoughts etc. I find it can bring some waves of peace to me rather than fully believing the sensations, emotions thoughts and connecting to them. At the end of the day, they are all appearances in awareness – you could go to Balancedview.org – they have free talks there from the founder. When I am in my darkest times, sometimes these things help. I will send you a little prayer and hope that things have improved or that you’re in peace, wherever you are
lots of love
