| hi everyone, some backstory about me, i moved out when i was 18 from abusive parents. im 19 and living on my own now. unfortunately chose the most expensive place 2 live (nyc) thinking my lifestyle would change living on my own. i have had periods of time with and without a job, currently with, but i think im going to go full on hiki again. to those who have somehow not killed themselves yet, how do u financially sustain yourselves? are ur parents still sticking with u or do u have other sources of support? |

| Sorry to hear about your story. I know “I hope things get better” seems like an empty phrase, but I do mean it. I still live with my parents, so most of my expenses are still covered. I will receive money from them occasionally. Soon I want to start taking art commissions to make extra money. |
 |
| Yeah... my mother still gives me an allowance. At age 30. :sweat: |
| That's what welfare is for. You can get on it via disability for mental health problems if possible. For the rest it's unemployment welfare. |
| i live with my grandmother so she pays for all my expenses. she gets allowance from the state when she dies i'll kill myself so i won't have to deal with my parents i tried to get welfare for mental health problems but my problems are too light for them (even though i objectively can't work) |

| I guess at this point it’s safe to assume we don’t have many people with an OnlyFans lol |

I used to work part-time after graduating school and before entering university, but now even thinking about looking for a job makes me extremely anxious. I guess my social phobia progresses as I grow older. I've never had a proper job before. |

I used to work part-time after graduating school and before entering university, but now even thinking about looking for a job makes me extremely anxious. I guess my social phobia progresses as I grow older. I used to do some odd jobs when I was younger but got burned out and increased anxiety after working in game industry. I get disability pension nowadays and I'm very content with it. |

| i was in early retirement also but i have to get checked by a doctor once a year to see if i still fit for that money. right now i live from the money i inherited from my father after his death in 2016. |
| I work. What a waste of time that is, but been at it for over a year now. Previously used to study, and afterwards, had a year of NEETness while searching for job, and I do loathe having had to do it. Not sure what I'll do in future but it would be very boring to not change anything so at some point I'll find a chance to and will. Honestly if basic universal income ever becomes a thing, I'll halt working instantly. Some people enjoy having work to do, for me it's just burden, I have lots of things to do in my room at home or even outside it that I enjoy more, albeit they don't really bring income. I spend my earnings for my hobbies, living with parents. My wage is so low anyway that it would be impossible to become independent at this moment. At least I justify myself to them this way for now, by not just staying at home constantly. I still would though. |
| Disability income, however its not enough to live off of entirely especially now in the states. |

| I work as a Loader 3 days a week. Kinda happy it's not full time because I've struggled with every full time job before, but yeah the pay is pretty small and the work is hard |

| I have a full time job now, as a ''chef'', as weird as that sounds. I never thought I'd be one of those people and it's a big difference to when I was active here before. Do I like it? Not really. Passionate? Nah, most definitely not. The wallet is happy but the mind is not. It's so superficial that it makes me sick to the core. Someone has made me realise my worth, though, and if either way it's superficial and I'm going to hate it, I might try to go back to what I originally studied, architecture and try to be a drafter or something. That way I might even be able to work from home. The option to just drop everything and go back to welfare is there but, and I hate myself for thinking this, I'm leaving that as a last choice option when everything else fails. |
