When I just moved away from home, I subsisted on a single $1 Lipton/Knorr rice side packet and store brand root beer every day. I sold plasma too and took as many cookies from the tray as I could fit in my pockets. I had rich parents, I was too proud to ask for help, I was so stupid.

Chinatown posted:$5 footlong. half for lunch. half for dinner. My dad gave me a stack of college basketball ticket stubs that had BOGO subway sammies so I would buy two and have them as lunch and dinner for two days. Either that or me and a friend would split the cost of one and the each get one.

as a teenager i convinced my folks that the social security check they got on account of my dad killing himself what they spent on pot rightfully belonged to me and used it to buy and sell weed so as to feed everyone's drug appetites and also eat better than school lunch every day

at one point working my way through school I had a minor miracle when I scrounged up like $36 in nickels from under furniture for groceries that lasted two weeks this was mostly due to poor planning on my part

I was living in the back of the shop I worked in for about two years during high school. It had no heat or tub/shower and I slept on a makeshift loft bed above the storage area.

id cruise the alleys in my college town the week after finals when everyone is moving apartments/leaving for the summer/graduating and would score some great loot. Kegs (return deposit), stereo systems, lamps. Not bad.

So very many bowl scrapings and carved out resin from the grinder, with a dash of aluminum for flavor. Stopped taking my morning dose of antiepileptic meds to make the Rx last longer. Bachelor chow: any leftovers whatsoever into a pot to heat. Tastes nasty? Grab the hot sauce. Still nasty? Tough. I'm still using protein shakes as my breakfast and lunch. I'm not proud of this but I stole bud from a rich guy I knew in culinary school. Slept at the bus stop because the bus wasn't running until morning and I didn't have money for a cab.

Hey you wouldn't deny a man his Bud Lite or whatever so why should I deny myself marijuana????? Also maybe I was/am self medicating a lil... you know, to escape the crushing realities of being an elder millennial in the United States.

When you're 20 and poor, the weed guy doesn't take credit cards, but anyone will give a 20 year old a credit card, and the shady gas station that sells the synthetic poo poo takes credit cards.

Took out student loans exclusively to fund my alcohol+online poker+maplestory cash card habit to the tune of ~30k, used credit cards after I couldn't get any more student loans. I still have about 28k in credit card debt to pay off from that phase.

I dropped a chile relleno on the street once and then ate it off the street like a loving animal rather than buy more food. I might have also been extremely drunk.
