I'm currently in college which has been an enormous struggle because my parents are unsupportive of it. They have never and will not contribute. They recently lost their home to divorce, job losses, and bad spending habits and both live with their own parents.
I am living alone because they are very abusive people. I have been working as much as possible, but I have little time to stop and think about choices I am making or what I actually want in between working to pay for everything and balancing school.
It affected my grades my first year, but I quickly bounced back and improved my gpa.
Between work and school I have no time, and it can be extremely isolating when others seem not to be working, and have time to invest in things they want to be doing, exploring interests, doing unpaid internships and working on projects.
Sometimes I struggle to afford books, supplies, technology, ect.
How am I actually supposed to figure out any sort of direction when I am running on a financial treadmill?
How do people start out in life with flat out zero support? I do not want my family to effect my chances for success.
I feel extremely limited in what I am able to consider with my future as money seems to be a constant hindrance in nearly every aspect of my life.
