I’m going to end up broke in a few months. Give me some tips on reducing the impact. What things can I do in advance? What are things I should know? Give me some financial advice too, if you can

I’m not sure what you’re asking. I was saying @[email protected] ’s comment is the most valuable reply I’ve read here, and that I have first hand experience living on the streets with no place to stay, and no money to speak of most of the time for years.
@SystemDisc you’ve spent a portion of your life in this manner ? And how are you doing now ?
Now I’m a software engineer making six figures. I went from nothing to what I consider very successful, albeit with tons and tons of really intense trauma.
@SystemDisc l do nothing. And so my figures are absolutely 0. You said you make in 6 figures.
I make $155,000 USD per year. When I was homeless, obviously I had essentially no money most of the time.
@SystemDisc l don’t make anything because l don’t do any work.
My philosophy is different from the others. If l work for money, l become a donkey.
Work should become a source of entertainment for me. Does that make any sense to you ??
Yes, but luckily I love what I do. So, I get paid and I get the benefit of doing what I want to do in life.
And, with my money, I sponsor several impoverished children and give back as much as I can as often as I can.
I also spend a lot of time volunteering at places that help those who struggle with addiction.
@SystemDisc that’s it… Do what you love. That’s your primary payment. The money that you get is secondary. It’s your earning, nevertheless.
Nice meeting you. I need to start of with my day. I need to find out where l need to apply myself.
Night time for you ??
Yes, I’m going to sleep. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for being kind and curious.
@SystemDisc the wheel of karma turned around !!
Yes, but it took decades and lots of very hard work. I nearly gave up several times. In fact, I attempted suicide more than once, so I guess I did give up multiple times. But, I survived and I’m glad. Overall, I survived a lot of abuse and violence. It’s been a very difficult life, but it’s finally peaceful and I have a lot of happiness today.
@SystemDisc violence and abuse are challenges of life… Unless you’ve grown the perspective of taking it as entertainment…
But why suicide ??
When you get tired of constant and terrible pain, sometimes it seems the only way out.
@SystemDisc l’m learning to process pain within my body, and within my mind as well 🙃🙃…
I would never consider suicide as an option…
Defeat and being mocked at by the world is a better choice for me… Probably might serve as a living example for someone…
Good. Suicide, of course, is permanent. Pain, I’ve found, is always temporary.
