The women I know don't put up with this any more. We work full time and our husband's help us.

Okay, so unless i can get hired part time somewhere in my town and they can work around my main job's schedule (so far this hasn't panned out) I'm going to see how much I can make selling shit on Facebook marketplace. My daughter is getting more and more NB by the day and has stated that my wedding dress will be of no use to her. She's also not that sentimental of a kid, gets that from me.
So far the short list is
-old wedding dress perfect condition
-long rug someone gave me
-glass kitchen canisters
-used TVs and computer monitors I got from somewhere
-PS4 games someone gave me
-full size bed frame from parents
-curtains
-children's clothes
-standalone tp holder that came with the house
I'll also go through all of my kitchen cabinets and shed for more stuff. Might be a busy weekend, but perhaps I can earn enough to cover the impending car repair.

Every time I look up tips to save money, I'm already doing all the shit they suggest.
Then, when I look up ways to make extra money, they all either sound like scams or they're not safe or viable options for a woman.
Other than trying to sell my unused stuff instead of taking it to Goodwill (which also brings with it strangers coming to my house) I'm not sure what else to do. And I don't have that much shit to get rid of because I don't buy a lot of unnecessary stuff.
I never get coffee out, I go out to eat on my birthday and mother's day but that's it, I buy ingredients instead of prepared food at the store. I use the same mascara and eyebrow makeup for at least 6 months and they cost maybe $8. I only wash my hair 3 or 4 times a month, I wear pants and shirts several times without washing them, I don't eat breakfast or lunch and I try to make a $7 whole chicken feed me for at least 3 dinners.
I don't buy pop, other than coffee I just drink water which I distill myself at home because Indiana tap water sucks. I'm growing my own veggies from seeds with compost I made myself from grass clippings and vegetable scraps. I save and grind up my egg shells to add to some of the plants to help them grow.
I get almost all of my clothes from either thrift shops or from family members getting rid of stuff. I wear the same shoes for years until they are full of holes. I use reusable menstrual pads so I don't have to buy disposable ones every month.
I get a haircut at Great Clips once every year and a half or so. If I have down time at work, I use it to compare grocery prices in my town and to learn ways to do things more cheaply like trying to learn to cut my own hair and making my own products instead of buying them.
When I do buy alcohol (like I plan to do tonight because meds don't touch these intense cramps) I buy an $8 bottle of barefoot red wine or a $12 bottle of liquor that will last me a month. Because I can't have a lot of sugar anyway, I mix the liquor with a splash of lime juice and cheap club soda. I've been buying unsweetened almond milk since my ex moved out because it doesn't go bad as fast as regular milk and I can't get through a half gallon of cow's milk before having to dump some out.
A lot of this is me trying to be self-sufficient and trying to be healthy (intermittent fasting, avoiding sugar and processed food, learning new skills) but even so, you'd think that doing these things would make me more financially stable. I have no idea how people manage their bills when they don't know how to cook or when they visit the salon or get new clothes. Or all the other traps you fall into in a capitalist society.

Related to the issue people have when they work at a job that requires a doctor's note to call in sick, but said job doesn't pay enough for you to afford to go to the doctor--
I get a decent amount of sick time and vacation time at my job, but less than 3 personal days per year. If I'm late or calling off due to the fact that the sitter can't pick up the kids from school or if my car breaks down, I can't use sick time, I have to use personal. The caveat is that my job doesn't pay enough for me to afford even a small car payment, so I'm driving a 2007 Toyota with almost 300,000 miles on it.
The other people I work with can either afford a car payment or possibly drive their spouses car because they have a spouse and 2 incomes.
So my only option other than being financially tied to a guy is to just cross my fingers and hope my car only breaks down or is in the shop less than 3 days a year. I live in a small town 25 miles from my job in the city, so riding a bike or a scooter isn't an option. Living in the city also isn't an option because of the astronomical rent and I would be way too far from my kids' school. Bus routes between cities are nonexistent in Indiana.
It's a good car, but eventually it's going to die for good. Life sucks sometimes.
I guess the next time my car breaks down, I'll need to lie and say I'm sick. Which will also make me look unreliable and if the kids gets sick I won't have time to take off for them.
Every time I think I'm doing okay financially, all it takes is one little setback to remind me that I'm not financially comfortable, I am instead a member of the working poor.

I respect the urge to buy a shit ton of cheese, but feel it necessary to point out that this man will never shit again

So weather app, you're telling me it's going to start raining right before I have to leave work and drive in traffic on the highway, then rain while I make dinner and eat it, but then it will conveniently stop before it's time to go to bed so I won't get to fall asleep to rain sounds?
Fuck all the way off, April weather
Oh, and the only warm, dry part of the day is when I'll be stuck inside working
It's going to be 43° when I leave my house, this sum bullshit

@beginning-to-be-happy
Draw badly. Write nonsensically. Embroider messily. Burn what you bake and cook. Get paint everywhere. Read half a book. Lose your mind for a bit. Plant things. Have faith in the process. Abandon 70 wood-carving projects. Get a kit and do some of it and never return to it. Get comfortable with sucking and losing motivation. Continue to create with reckless abandon.
