I’m a 21 year old who was formerly in college and is now working full time because of a combination of circumstances, grades, grandma having a stroke and a bunch of other shit.
Anyway, I don’t want to take the damn booster, and mom is literally making me walk home because she doesn’t wanna be in the same car as me (warning sign I should’ve noticed a while ago, as she threatened to kick me out if I didn’t take the Pfizer jabs), and now I think I’m gonna get kicked out of my house.
Right now I don’t have much to my name, if anything at all (except about 1k worth of Yugioh cards) and I also have debt because of me being an idiot with other shit, but I’m on the way to paying the debt off. If I do get kicked out, what should I do first? Right now I’m trying to see if any of my friends could take me in, and I’d be able to pay rent if they’d charge, but it just feels like hell, knowing my mom is a Branch Covidian, even though she’s an RN.
Dude this is heartbreaking to hear. A mother turning against own child over a booster shot is beyond sick shit. I am truly sorry you are in this position.
You should reach out to your friends and see if anyone of them will let you stay at their place for a while at least so you have time to make future plans.
Does your job pay decently enough so you can live on your own?
I hope things ultimately work out for you.
If I start being mad frugal, and I sell all the cards I’m not actively using, looking at apartments right now, I have enough money to pay rent for about six months or so (I live in SC, so rent is pretty damn cheap). The biggest thing for me is that I don’t own a car, so I need to find an apartment right next to my job (which there are, I just can’t find the prices for them right now).
I don't know too much about SC but you might want to look into seeing if you can use public transit to commute from an affordable apartment to your job.
This is not really doable in SC. We don't have public transit.
Do you have any options for alternative transport as a temporary thing (for example, a bike or electric scooter)? Or, failing that, maybe a used car?
You can always rebuy the cards again once you're on more solid footing for such things. Hang on to a couple of the topmost oldies that stand to go way up if the game resurges like MtG did, and sell off the entire rest of them. Yes; even your current decks. There's lots of cheap alternative hobbies to get you through what is going to a lot of hard work and harder financial choices in the upcoming couple of years, and even a small cash cushion going in will allow you to make much smarter ones.
Sometimes when your in a messed up situation is when you learn the best. There will be many more, welcome to manhood. Your mom is hooked in the fear porn
If your work is within 5 miles from your home then cycling is an option.
