Kind of sucks that I'm paying almost $2k/mo in shared expenses, shouldering 100% of those expenses. No wonder I can't seem to get ahead on my debt. Not really the fault of most people involved though; being disabled and getting zero financial help just plain sucks. Being disabled and getting SSI also just plain sucks, because yeah it's help but it's "help" with *caveats.* You get a pittance, and don't you dare try to supplement that with other income or you lose it all!

So I'm basically stuck being the safety net without any assistance of my own because I earn way too much just trying to keep things running to qualify for literally anything at all. I don't necessarily mind it, but it's honestly frustrating at times that I have to balance a very fine financial line to keep everything afloat or risk fucking over everyone.
