i’m 22 F living alone and supporting myself. I don’t have any contact with my toxic family, times are tough and things are expensive. I successfully got a second job which i’m really grateful for so that i don’t have to struggle so much but my first paycheck from this job is next week. Rent was due yesterday and i have 10$ left which i must use for bus fare to get to work (i live far from where i work and walking isn’t an option). I have pasta and tomato sauce that will last me until maybe this weekend but after that nothing. what unhinged things can i do to keep myself alive until next week besides staying hydrated?

I’m 22 and live alone - my apartment is actually very affordable and I make enough to afford it but due to some unfortunate emergencies I had to spend my entire pay check while also being in the hospital i also missed a few shifts at work.. anyways I was given the end of this month to pay my rent for august and despite picking up extra shifts i’m still short several hundred - untimely that means i also won’t have enough for September’s rent since my next pay check will be mid September. I can’t rely on any family to borrow from as I moved out originally to escape my abusive home and went no contact, they don’t know where I live. My credit is not good because I had to rely on it when I left home so I don’t qualify for any loans besides easy financial. I am very desperate, I can’t loose my apartment it’s the only sense of peace i’ve had.

My question is what can I do to make sure nothing goes wrong? I haven’t seen the best threads about easy financial. The loan i’m hoping to take out is around 1500-2000$.

Provience: Nova Scotia

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi there! I’m a 22F from canada. i’m currently taking a year off after having a really hard time in university, from experiencing family problems and autistic burnout. I’m finally doing much better however, as my year off is ending i’m realizing that I don’t really want to go back to my old degree (bachelor of biology). I really do love science as a subject, but I can’t really see myself working in any science related field as of recently.. it’s just not for me.

During my career crisis I realized that I never considered ASL interpreter as a career choice. I’ve always been in love with ASL especially as a quieter autistic person who has noise sensitivity, that being said I am still a social person who loves to engage with others. I learned ASL in high school so I’m no stranger to it, however, I definitely wouldn’t consider myself fluent (maybe a level 2?).

Anyways I come here to ask what your life is like being an ASL interpreter, especially if you live in Canada have you had a hard time finding work? what’s your income like? Are you able to live comfortably? I’m chasing the numbers I just want a simple life and if I need to pickup a side hustle to do that I would be glad.

To those living in Canada - im from nova scotia and considering taking the ASL interpreters program at NSCC in Nova Scotia which is a two year program to become an interpreter, is anyone is familiar with it!

Im a 21F university student. I finally did it, i’m out of my abusive household for good but I spent all the little money I had saved up for the security deposit and first months rent. The only things I have with me are a mattress on the floor and a blanket and pillow but i’ve never been more at peace in my entire life. Not having to be afraid in my own home is something I never thought i’d achieve.

I don’t get paid for 10 days and I don’t have a single dollar to my name after all the moving fees. I have a job it just doesn’t pay much but i usually can get by - the moving fees just ate up all the money I would’ve used for food. what can i do?

I don’t have any friends or family that I talk to now that i’m moved out. Im really afraid but I know I made the right choice even if it means starving.

Any help on what I can do would be appreciated.

I’m not asking anyone for money or cash - i simply just need some advice on where to go to be able to eat for the next few days.

I’m moving into a new apartment soon (Halifax). I noticed the ceiling has some discolouration and it looks like either mold staining or mold on the popcorn ceiling in the bathroom. I asked the supper about it and he said there was a leak that the previous ted ant mentioned and the other supper apparently fixed it but “never finished the job”. I don’t know what that means but i’m going to assume this problem was not fixed. I’m afraid of moving into a mold infested bathroom. What do I do? He doesn’t seem keen on fixing it because he previously mentioned painting over it but that’s terrifying to me i’m a bit of a germaphobe. Do i have the rights to ask them to fix the ceiling and not paint it over?? What exactly do I say to him? Considering he can’t personally fix it do I ask they bring in mold removal contractor? I really need some advice here this is my first apartment and i’m moving in alone with no support.

my question is I assume if it was from a leak it’s 100% not surface level and it’s growing on the other side of the popcorn ceiling right? this is an older apartment built in the 80s.
