Hi, looking to start apply to schools. Financially anxious. I have about 25,000 to my name. I still have undergrad debt about 15,000. How do people financially support themselves? Worried about affording groceries and other necessities like gas, rent ect. I am independent no kids or significant other I have a very supportive family but unfortunately cannot live with them and wouldn’t have a whole lot of financial support not that I expect it.

How do people do it? Not working for 3 years. Loans, credit cards? I know I sound dumb or ignorant but just need advice, support, reassurance bc this is the only thing really hold me back from putting everything else in motion.

Thank you for advice and replies it helps a lot.

Hi, so I have a 5 yr old labradoodle who is a very active and joyful pup. He’s an only dog and has always been but socializes with other dogs regularly. He stays at my parent’s house 3 times a week sometimes overnight because I am a nurse and work 12 hr shifts.

I have gone on two vacations this month leaving him with my parents for about 4-5 days and just got back yesterday and since I got back from vacation he’s been acting different. When I picked him up yesterday he was so so excited. We went for a walk he pooped, he peed, he got the zoomies and he ran and walked his behavior was completely normal and then we drove 20 mins home where he proceeded to act his normal self being my shadow wanting love and affection eating his dinner then I got in the shower and unpacked my luggage. he stayed laying down in my room wagging his tail. Strange because he usually gets on the couch or the bed but he’s still wagging his tail. Well I go and make dinner and he’s not attached to my hip like usual trying to catch any food that falls rather he moved out to the living room where I can see him but he’s just kinda staring off forward at nothing almost like he has something on his mind. Well I make him a little treat pb and apples and he doesn’t eat it and when I eat my dinner he usually is right by me wanting the food he didn’t come. He just stayed laying down in a lions position almost like protecting or guarding. Fast forward today he would not go outside the morning to potties he wouldn’t eat his breakfast so I made him a chicken breast which he ate. We went for a little walk and he is used to 2-3 mile meanwhile walking or trotting in front of me smelling everything but today he trailed behind me or next to me not really interested in the walk. He pooped which looked like a hard rock. We get back and he just seems so uncomfortable and tired- very low energy.

I’m now starting to get worried because it’s coming up on the 24 hour mark of when this behavior started. He’s not limping and he didn’t get into anything that my parents or I’m aware of.

I just called our veterinarian and she said her earliest appointment is next week but if I was really concerned I should take him to the vet ER.

I mean I am really concerned but looking for more constructive advice I guess. I know she doesn’t have much to work with because she doesn’t has any appointments to see him and can’t physically see him but I guess I’m just a panicked mom and looking for a little more

I’m sorry this is long but I appreciate any advice or help.

Thank you for reading and responding.
