no place for us
today was a pretty crappy day… we had a meeting with the county clerk’s office to settle mom’s estate. speed bump 1, it cost 42 bucks to put the land in our names… like we aren’t already shelling out a ton of money for everything already. then the woman dropped the bomb. all the money that was in mom’s bank account (about $600+) had to be given directly to the funeral home because the funeral expenses were not already paid off. that was money we were hoping to pay bills with… it didn’t matter that we had arrangements with the funeral home to pay off mom’s funeral cost in installments, no they just took all that money and said sorry about that!
the fact that the woman actually said “good luck” to us as we were walking out the door.. i honestly had to stop myself from spitting on her or punching her… its so easy for people to just dismiss this stuff or say “good luck” when they aren’t experiencing it first hand. not knowing if you are going to have money for basic utilities and needs, like toilet paper for instance… its really just depressing and i am tired of living this way.
there’s absolutely nothing that can be done as well… no government programs that help people who are just poor… we aren’t disabled, there’s no underage children to take care of… we just don’t have any money. its like unless we get hurt really badly or one of us gets pregnant, we just have to deal with possibly being homeless.
why does the system work like this??? i don’t get it…

I am so sorry to hear you have to deal with all this after your mom’s passing. As if losing your mom wasn’t enough now you have to try to keep yourself afloat. I hope things get better for you and your family.

I truly and sincerely wish U the best luck. UR vry lucky not being disabled or pregnant or hurt. The system is meant to be a safety net for those unable to work and only that. “The system” is also only supposed to be temporary — until people can get back on their feet. I think the system is that if you can work, you should try to. I know the economy is not helping right now.
UR obviously a good writer and intelligent. Im sure that those qualities will help U to get URself into to a better situation.

oh i honestly have no problem with working, its finding a job that is the issue. i would be very happy with temporary assistance, so that we can get back on our feet again, i’m not interested in a hand out for nothing. right now we are so far in debt with so many things that we may have to go without electricity. thankfully its the summer time so its not as bad as if this had happened in the winter, but still, it would mean no water to clean ourselves, no way to cook our food, its just not something i am looking forward to. the system should have help for those who are struggling with the current state of the economy.
my writing capabilities and intelligence are sadly not enough to get me a job in the area that i live in. i have no formal education beyond highschool and my aspergers tends to hinder me at times. the only jobs available for someone like me are mcdonalds and walmart, and neither are hiring.
