I’m about £1500 in debt currently, haven’t worked since February and have been living off savings. I’m about to run out of money and my rent is due in 3 weeks.
I started stripping at 18 to get away from my abusive home life but unfortunately It’s not an option anymore as I can’t do it sober. The job was destroying my health.
I’m now 20, with no actual work experience, living in an area that’s unsafe for me and I have no one to rely on. Parents can’t help me and neither can other family members, friends aren’t in any position to help either.
I’m just adding this backstory in for context. Scroll past for the point I can’t do a normal job due to relatives being involved with the wrong people, I’m guilty by association. Meaning I don’t want anyone affiliated with said gangs or whatever seeing me and hurting me. I still live very close to them and don’t want them to find out where I live. I could do stripping and be safe to go out as it was nights and I could pay for taxis there and back, the money was okay but I didn’t anticipate that I would stop. Because of this, I wasn’t as frugal as I should have been. I’m really kicking myself for it.
I don’t think I would make enough to pay for taxis all the time on a normal wage. I don’t even feel safe sleeping at night, if I need to go to the shop I walk around with my hood up and a scarf over my face. It’s getting to summer so i won’t even be able to do that for much longer without baking or looking obvious. I can’t call the police as they won’t be able to do anything.
Anyway to the point
I desperately need to move and want a job. It’ll be okay if I’m somewhere safe where I can sleep at night. But I can’t afford a deposit, first months rent or anything. I did have it saved and was almost ready to find somewhere, but my pet died and the vet bills depleted my savings by a big chunk.
I don’t know if I can get benefits as I’m registered as self employed from stripping.
I’m just so stuck. I desperately want a job and as hard as I can I just need to feel safe in my own home.
I just want to be clear I am in no way shape or form asking for a handout in case that’s how this comes across, I just want financial advice, suggestions or even some tough love haha.
I just need any suggestions or advice. Does anyone know of any numbers or resources out there that could help me? Is there any way I can make money at home? Any advice on how to get out of this situation would be great, or even just similar stories that ended well for encouragement. Thank you.
TL:DR £200 left, no money and no job. Need money to move for safety. If anyone knows of any resources out there, advice or anything that could help it would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I don’t know if I’m not seeing comments because they’ve been removed or not. To the person who asked about camming, it’s crossed my mind but I don’t want to jeopardise any future career if someone finds out.
EDIT 2: Its getting late here and I can’t keep my eyes open much longer, I will make sure to get back to everyone first thing tomorrow.
