That moment when you start to look for a job that you can work from home then you realize that your rent will increase and your food stamps will decline if you get extra income........ then you sit down to do the math and find that you'd only be getting enough extra to pay for an occassional babysitter...... I am getting very fidgety, I need a way to get extra money and fast!

Pet sitting/dog walking found on Craigslist?

Welfare can be frustrating because from what I can tell, the numbers are all behind the times so by the time you add everything up you can't possibly cover all your needs from your benefits. Everyone I know on welfare lies about untrackable income or find other ways to get around the system. It a huge struggle. No judgment here. Do what you can. If you can get under the table income, go for it.

What are your talents or interests? What can you do from home that would be a benefit to others? Can you make ceramic pots or works of art or offer advice to improve a person's lot in life like motivational speaking? I ask because I decided years ago that my future rested with online retail and I knew nothing about it. I got into the window treatment industry without caring about window shades and without knowing how to read a measuring tape. That was 20 years ago and since then I've purchased a home, new cars, helped my children through college and so on. I'd be willing to pay for the initial costs of hosting a domain and creating a website - it's not a big deal as it costs me only pennies - but I need to know what you're interested in and what talents you have. Everyone with a unique or highly sought after talent or desire can make it online. Let me know 🙂.

Are you too disabled to drive?

@Secular_Squirrel Ok never mind but I definitely definitely hope that things will turn around for you.

Why are you receiving food stamps and low cost housing - are you a single father?

This is the first thing they need to address with "welfare" reform! They are discouraging people from trying to get independent!! If anything, they should get to keep their benefits for an extra week or 2 while transitioning.

Likewise, a long time ago I was out of work & had NO income at all. But when I applied for some help & learned I had $200 in the bank for next month's rent they said I didn't qualify. I asked them, seriously, if I took it out & spent it all on booze that night, could I qualify for the help tomorrow, & they said yes.... & the possible benefit I was applying for would not have been enough for the rent then. So basically, let the person end up homeless & then spend even more money on them, or encourage poor folks to save a little money & keep them in their homes.

Still that way.
