I was nearing deadass broke in 2009 as a newly minted MS in computer engineering. The employment application kiosk in the local supermarket broke while I was trying to apply and instead of asking for help I just walked out in a cloud of emotion. I don't know if that says more about me, labor classism, or the 2008 crash. You decide.

Without question it was way back decades ago when I used to gamble. I would take hours long bus rides to big casinos so I could drink when I gambled and then not have to drive. Then when the money is gone there's this excruciatingly pathetic area of benches or plastic chairs hidden away in a corner of a casino by where the buses pull up. Miserably waiting hours surrounded by stranger Asians for the Greyhound Still makes my soul wince

I just finished watching The Sopranos and they make degenerate gamblers look soooo loving pathetic in that show, in a way that rang really true to me. Glad to hear that's not your life anymore

I let someone do a full face of makeup on me -- foundation, blush, eyeshadow, the works -- before we went somewhere in public, in exchange for a 7-day MetroCard. I know I'm a woman so it doesn't seem that bad or anything, but I've never worn that much makeup before or since aside from Halloween, and I looked like a bootleg drag queen.Nelson Mandingo posted:Spent $10 to access a forum decades ago for like-minded socialization.

Das Boo posted:Strongly considered sex work. Probably this, plus the fun time spent sleeping on benches and stuff for a few days at a time thanks to, uh, not great housing situation that was precarious at best. I still consider it despite living with an ex-worker who strongly advises me not to, despite the fact that I'd likely make good money thanks to filling several niches. Having to do a lifetime of therapy thanks to a lifetime abuse sucks too.

became so ashamed of my poverty that I stopped taking calls from my dad, who (fearing for my safety) eventually drove six hours to check on me and get my rear end in gear

I had to ask my broke mother for rent money and my roommate was kind enough to bring home food from her deli job to feed me. It was a bad couple months after college, but then I got a better job and now I pay my Mother's rent. How's them apples ma.
