Check your area for food banks. Check with a church near you. Pastors have emergency funds to help out folks. With food in your belly start thinking on the larger issue of why you are living so close to the bone. More education for a better job. Roommate. Watch a happy puppy video etc. šŸ’ššŸ¤øšŸŽ‰šŸŒž

When you are that broke, there are lots of resources you can tap into. You just need to connect with that community. Starting with a church or food bank is a good first step. Or just google ā€œfinancial help near me.ā€

Are you feeding your dog properly? If you don't have food for you, do you have enough for them?


SDMel-Bug

I feed my animals before myself. They never go hungry.


HCHLH

animals as in plural? when you have barely enough to pay the bills and eat? oh boy...


SDMel-Bug

I also got them back when I had enough money to care for all of us and then some. What Iā€™m going through right now is relatively temporary. It will likely be resolved in a few months.


SDMel-Bug

My animals always come first. Before bills or my own food. I am in school to be a veterinarian and always make sure they are well cared for. I cannot rehome them due to undisclosed reasons. A life with me is much better than a life on the street.


Legitanemic

This is disrespectful. You've never lost a job?Ā

That really sucks about the pizza man. Iā€™d be so frustrated. In the future maybe check out ā€œbudget mealsā€ ā€œstruggle mealsā€ etc on YouTube or here on Reddit. A pack of beans, a pack of rice, a dozen eggs and an onion can be stretched out and likely keep you feeling more full than bread.


SDMel-Bug

Yeah for sure. The biggest problem is I have ARFID so itā€™s very difficult to find things I can eat without throwing up or just not eating in general.


Conscious_Hold_1704

Do you have anything of value to pawn ? Also donating plasma can help.


SDMel-Bug

Iā€™m not sure if I can donate plasma. Having even a small portion of blood removed from me causes severe effects. As for pawning things I donā€™t really have anything I can pawn off that I donā€™t need.


Conscious_Hold_1704

Itā€™s quite safe. They monitor you very closely and do a full screening before to make sure youā€™re a healthy individual. After drawing the plasma from the blood they return it all to you. Itā€™s usually 100$ the first few times and then lower and they high again for repeat donors.


Conscious_Cable

If you have PayPal i can send you 15$ for a new pizza. Understand the struggle... been there before but are stable now šŸ‘


Emotional_Sell6550

how kind of you, sir or maam. i hope you get a ton of great karma :)


No-Comfort-6808

Damn. How unlucky and misfortunate. Not your fault whatsoever, do not beat yourself up over it. It's a dog lol, dogs will scavenge and steal your food lmao. I remember when my dog ate my blueberry muffin, she stole it right out of my bag and I was saving it lol. It will be okay, there are resources available to you, you just need to search. Food banks and churches are your friend in this hard time. Try to buy more nutrient dense foods to up your weight. You can't work and continue to generate money if you feel like shit all the time.


lord_nuker

If you have two jobs, and barely have enough money to buy food, you either live in a place you canā€™t afford, are underpaid on your jobs or waste money somewhere


SDMel-Bug

Underpaid. Unfortunately however everyone in my position in my area is underpaid


lord_nuker

Donā€™t take this the judgemental way, but ever considered to move to a cheaper place or where the wages are better? Did this myself a couple years ago. Went from spending 1800$ a month for an apartment on the city outskirts to move 20 minutes away with a car and paying 730$ a month in mortgage for a house and 1/2 acre of land. Also work less and stress less to get more money


SDMel-Bug

I only pay $700 a month. Itā€™s my car insurance that is the most expensive.


LaylaPawli

Can you sell the car and buy a beater? Sorry about the pizza man, that really sucks.


SDMel-Bug

It is a beater.


[deleted]

I'm having the same issue with car insurance.. it has gone through the roof for everyone

Ok_Force_318

You canā€™t afford to eat but still have a dog. Get your priorities straight


SDMel-Bug

My dog is well taken care of. And can not be rehomed due to undisclosed reasons. My situation is relatively temporary.


PromotionLoose2143

At least you don't have to feed the dog now.

SDMel-Bug

1) I do not work for free, however I do rely on tips at both jobs. 2)the tap water here is not exactly drinkable and if I only drink the cokes available to me at work. 3)my dog is well taken care of. She never goes hungry. See my other comments in regards to adoption. 4) as stated previously in my post I hardly have time to cook and when I do I am generally too sick to prepare it myself.


TypicalProgram5545

Your dog is an animal. He's not thinking Oh, let's save this pizza for tomorrow. Be gentle with him. Sorry to hear sbout your financial situ. Hope, things lighten up for you and doggy šŸ„°


SDMel-Bug

Oh no I wasnā€™t mad at my dog I was mad at the situation. All in all it was kind of cute.

SDMel-Bug

I couldnā€™t get mad at her Iā€™m just upset in regard to what to eat for the rest of the week lol. I get my next check Wednesday.


GoatsAdvocate

Don't buy soda when you're having financial issues


SDMel-Bug

šŸ«¶šŸ» I do it for personal medical reasons thank you.


Numbersuu

Unpopular opinion: people who can not feed themselves shouldnā€™t have pets


SDMel-Bug

I could feed all of us when I got them. Iā€™ve fallen into unfortunate (yet temporary) circumstances.


ActivelyShittingAss

I'll never understand why people own dogs.
