I abt to be homeless at my 20s

I have a year in US and it has been horrible, I got a Job offer all over Seattle and it was good and nice but I had some differences with my boss, we lived together cuz his family abandoned him, he was always mad and I was a type of scapegoat, He treated me like if I was someone he had beef with, he cut the internet, cut my phone line cuz he was the head of the T mobile lines, and I moved, I didn’t find any job there i spend all day going around looking for Job but I didn’t find anything, not even a 7

With a little money on my pocket I moved to CA and worked as Roofer sometime and in the meantime I was looking for something else and I find a Automotive prepper but I got fired after 3 months by one mistake doing a prepping on a mustang, I find another job in MAACO as prepper too but in the end I got fired and the reason was I didn’t had the enough experience for the Job I got hired and fired the same week, I was going good with the rent but the guy who rented me got a offer from someone who give him $300 more than I pay and he just told me “You gotta move out, this month would be the last one you have here so look somewhere else to move”, the thing is I haven’t get job or something, I’ve went to hotels, restaurants, AT&T, Verizon, In n Out and more and I haven’t get any answer, today I got one for AT&T for a Zoom Call tomorrow at 12:30 I have $18 on me, I have no family in here and I’m completely alone so I might go homeless or idk what to do

19f homeless at the end of oct

I'm going to be homeless again. I get 1425 cad a month via disability. If I had a market rate apartment I'd have to put 100% of my money towards rent which imo isn't worth it.

Thankfully, I can afford a storage locker to store my essentials.

I can't lie. I'm scared. I've been SAed a lot in the past and don't want to go through it again. Nor do I want to ever get hooked on street drugs.

The last time I was homeless last year I was able to work fulltime, but now I'm in and out of the hospital so much it's no longer an option. (Obv my health declined and I wouldn't be able to work either way.)

I do have access to a shelter and food banks thankfully but I'm bulimic so I'm not worried about food LOL as long as I can afford my protein drinks I'm good. I also h

But yeah. I'm scared. It feels like my life is over but I only turn 20 in Nov. How can you even rebuild your life after this?

Where do I go from here?

I 27f live at home with my mother and grandma. My mother has officially given me a month to move out. I am recently divorced and am in debt from previously being homeless when she kicked me out prior. I have a full time job ( working for the local gov) and am barely making it by, I’ve applied to HUNDREDS of part time work. I literally have no fucking idea what to do. I have no family to help me, I have no friends to lean on. I have nothing and no one and I am at rock bottom, again. I feel like nothing at this point.

How do I move for my new job? Im so close!

I spent a long time disabled and unable to work. I was never able to prove legal disability though, so no financial assistance (USA). I finally have built back up to working full time. I just got hired in the foster care system in a city 100 miles away. Its about double my current income. I cant afford to turn it down but I cant afford to move either. I have an eviction and bad credit. No savings for a deposit. I will have one paycheck of $800 before I start the new job. It was a huge effort to jump through all the hoops to get the job. It is 'remote' and 'on call' so I have to be physically in the city to run errands too. I've been looking at options for months and I just dont know what to do. I have one more week until Im supposed to start. Please let me know what I can do to make this happen. I am scared, but I can do this.

Likely Homeless in the Next Few Days

My sister and I have gone from place to place for a few years now. I've kept stable jobs, but she has a hard time doing the same thing for a while, which usually ends up in us not being able to afford rent.

To be more specific, our last place was a house we rented that I insisted might be too expensive for us (I recommended low income housing). We paid maybe the first two months of rent on time. After that, it was always late and either our roommate or I would have to pay most of her part.

Still, I love my sister and want to stick with her until she manages to find her groove.

Without typing an 1000 page essay, about 3 months ago she decided she didn't like the attitude our landlord was (imo rightfully) giving us and that we were no longer paying him. Sure, I could've still given my part, but she convinced our roommate he shouldn't pay either and I def couldn't afford it all myself.

Now, we're staying at a b&b that I paid for in full for a week (I'm told I'll get half of it back from her, but I'm not holding my breath). We have a couple of days left and this morning she decided that she no longer likes living with/around me, nor does she want to take me back and forth to work anymore. I have no other rides. My car was told a couple of months ago and when I asked her to help me get it back, there were 1000 hoops I had to jump through before she decided she no longer wanted to help. All in the same day.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna quit at least one of my jobs today. I'll try to figure out a way to the other one, but honestly it's not super likely. I spent most of my money here and I don't know if or when she plans on paying me back, so there's a pretty solid chance I have no place to stay come Wednesday.

I don't need physical help, though advice would be nice. Honestly, the rant was my biggest reason for doing this. Thanks for reading :3

I need help with my current life situation

Hi this is my life right now.
I live in a 3 bedroom house in England, with my wife who is disabled and my three children (18,17 and 12) due to the kids all needed their own bedrooms a few years ago me and my wife moved our bedroom into our living room. The house we live in is private rented, but is in terrible condition. Not gunna go too much into it but everything from holes in the roof, broken fences and black mould(black mould actually causing some health issues), among other things. Which our landlord refuses to do anything about. I know I need to find a 4 bedroom house for us as we are really not happy with our living conditions.
Due to the cost of living in the uk I found myself a cash in hand job, starting washing dishes and worked up, over 3 years, to now running the small food business myself for not much money, way below minimum wage, but it’s cash in hand and helps me feed my family, but we are barely clinging on.
I want to give my family a better life than they currently have.
A few years ago my nan and grandad both passed away, in their will it left me and my mother their house. My mother currently lives in the house in question. We don’t really speak and haven’t for a few years.
My point is I want to open my own food business, provide a better life for my kids, and get us into a house that we are happy in.
I know I have 50% of a house that I could somehow use to bankroll me setting up my own business, but I have no idea how or where to even start with any of it. Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated

26MtF SoCal gonna be kicked out of my moms soon

Ok so moved in with my mom in February after some hardship and its been hell. Shes been so on and off abusive its a roller coaster. Add in that my sister just moved back and she HATES me. Anytime I even come out of my room its an argument of my mom and sister telling me to go back to my room.

My mom was gonna throw me out today. No time to shower or pack, just get a black trash bag, fill it, amd go. Luckily I have a car, amd luckily despite my sisters protests my mom decided to give me another night.

Despite that I cant be here anymore. My sister makes it unlivable honestly. Like my niece cant even talk to me, and I cant talk to her and its just like so tense when im out there. I cant take this. I need to leave. Im just not sure where I can go and am so afraid as a trans woman. I pass very well if that'll matter? Idk advice would be nice
