As in, how do you keep a job to feed yourself and pay bills? I can't. I can't manage to keep a job, I don't get any govt assistance, and my parents cut me off a few days ago out of the blue saying, "This has been going on for too long." I have just started a new job but the pay period cut off right after I began so I got a $27 check. Won't be paid for another 2 weeks. Stressing. Live with my bf but don't want to rely heavily on him, seeing as he's barely scraping by as well.
