How to live for 4.5 months with $700 USD?

Jeff preferred to donate Hair/Blood. The gift of life, and the gift of non-baldness for cancer patients. <3

Jeff?

Oh, you know. The guy with the um.. loli problem.

Ah...I remember... -_-

Wait who's Jeff again?

This friend of Lollikittie's who has this real-life loli problem.

Hey Noichi, I've actually been there before. Can you provide me with some more information on your situation? If you aren't comfortable with broadcasting it here, please feel free to message me.

Some of these may seem obvious, but are easily overlooked:

If you have a place to stay, do not eat out, pack snacks instead. If you don't have a car, park it and only use it for long-distance trips or trips where public transportation will take longer for you to arrive at your destination. Remember, in most cases, time is money. Most public transportation services have centers where you can buy pre-paid fare packs in advance for different amounts - they usually offer a nice discount. Try the service counter at your local major grocery store if you cannot locate a transportation center. Also, find things around your room that you no longer use or wear. A good rule of thumb: if you haven't used it or worn it in over a year, then it's time to get rid of it. Turn to eBay or Craigslist. And for clothes, if you are in a largely populated city, you can usually find a second hand store that buys used clothes. What about sporting goods? Have any old sports equipment you can get rid of? If so, sell it - now would be a good time to get rid of unused winter gear. Also, keep yourself busy! But be sure to take a break for snacking between meals. This will cut the body's need for larger main course meals throughout your day. Use your toiletries sparingly! You'd be surprised at how long some of these things can last. Also, don't be afraid to use coupons. Look through the "junk mail" that comes in just about every day. Spend about 10 minutes going through it and do some coupon clipping. Every penny counts in these situations.

If I think of anything else, I'll post it here. I wish you the best, and if there is anything in particular you need, don't hesitate to ask for help. I'll do my best to help out. Just keep your chin up and know that it can always be worse. Trust me on that. :)

Thank you everyone!

Basically, what happened was that on Friday (today is Tuesday), I got to the BART station 30 min. late.
Mom got mad, and when I called her after waiting for 20 min, she said "Good for you!" and hung up.
30 ish min. later, I borrowed some lady's phone and called again, asking what to do.
Her response?
"Figure it out. You're 18."
So, I got back on BART and headed to the stop that was closest to my boyfriend's house. He rescued me, and I slept over at his house. (insert sex, snuggling, and cute silly moments)
Saturday night, I went home, and tried to talk to Mom. She would not acknowledge me, instead choosing to talk to me by proxy through her husband.
Dad was supposed to pick me up and let me move in with him (he lives in same town as bf), but he LOLNOPE'd the next morning.
Which left me to "figure it out."

So far, I think things are going pretty well. I'm going to make sure to keep all the recommendations in mind.
And good news! One regular sized box of Kraft mac and cheese lasts me 3 meals.
Fuck yeah petite Asian appetites.

Interesting little tidbit. Thank you for the cannot-unsee moment. XD

Check for financial aid for dorm housing; I know my brother is only paying around $175/month for his dorm.

If you live in the US and don't mind the commitment, enlist in the National Guard, on top of paying for your schooling they will give you some money monthly to live off of.

Other than that; get on top of where there is free food! Most towns will have at least one church doing a free meal on a saturday or sunday to feed people in such situations.

2 minute noodle diet.

bulk oatmeal i bought 1 box besides ramen and beans and bananas all i ate for 5 months

edit:peanut butter also works lasts a while and is relatively cheap

and of course any food in the good old doller store

Now I got food covered, either dumpster dive (which is free I might add), or buy nothing but food off the dollar menu.

Mind over matter.

That is my two cents for this thread.

1. I'm not in college yet.
2. I'm a woman. A tiny, petite Asian woman, who just so happened to be born 2 months premature, and as a result I have shitty lung capacity. >>"

Thanks again everyone, it really does help quite a bit.

I don't mean to be an attention whore, but if anyone has $5 to spare via paypal and would like a chibi drawing of their waifu or whoever, THIS BITCH RIGHT HURR is taking commissions. >>"""""" ehehe....

fix'd.

Also,
I'd help you if I also wasn't broke.

<3

Your art is adorable, bytheway. I will definitely purchase some when I have some spare cash.
