Full time student, 26 single parent... just got my final paycheck from my last job. Car broke down and I was a delivery driver for Mellow Mushroom, long story short all I got is 110$ ... no rent to pay, foods covered, I sha[M]efully live at my parents and currently waiting to start working at Amazon which isn't for another three weeks or so. Anot my son, he's fed (EBT- all for him and him alone) and he has all his needs, diapers covered by my siblings if I can't afford to. I have Financial aid butafter everything I'm usually left with nada. It's my small emergency funds for my kid or me and school. I'm really embarrassed with myself, but I know it could be worse. Would love any and all advice or information. I'm very fortunate for all my help but I hate needing it. Makes me feel like shit. So I have a few questions..
Is this the right subreddit to post this? - If not I am sorry, I will remove it and post elsewhere recommended.
Are there programs that help with these sort of things? I feel bad I have to use some of these, but at the same time I need them and hate asking if there's other ones I should be apart of. I just don't know.
I gotta wait to pay off my phone bill, should I apply for one of those free phones until I start work, would it even matter in your opinions?
If I had to buy food, which is most likely.. is Aldi's a place to shop for budgeters? I honestly see myself needing to here in a while.
If yes, would rice and a simple protein be a good route to go?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Note: I really hope this gets a few answers because my left eye keeps twitching and this is all I'm thinking about! Also, thank you in advance if anything.
