Homeless Progress update
🕑 Added 2025-05-19 19:33:21 +0000 UTCAs stated in the previous journal, I'm currently homeless but with my current support group, I'm not on the streets living in my car. A friend has offered a place for me to stay while I get my affairs in order and try to tie up loose ends. I'm actively looking for rooms to rent or an apartment that can take me. In the meantime, I still have estimated 2 weeks left of my college class and entering finals. This is also why I haven't been so active, and I want to finish strong despite my setback and again not waist my parents' investment.
Now let's talk finances. I have a sum of money set aside that would help towards my potential move into any of the units I've been researching and in communication with (nothing set in stone). I have bills in my name that need to be closed out and I have the lowest expectations of what is owed to me will ever see my pockets let alone whatever portion of the Utilities that the other roommate is responsible for, thus leaving me to pay 100% with my own funds. I need to pay these expenses in order for me to end their service, and I don't have enough to save for my hopeful move and close the power and wi-fi before getting charged another month for something I'm not using.
I'm looking into a physical job to obtain a stable income but it's tricky finding work I can do or is open within my means.
The bills I need to close from the previous apartment. these include any outstanding balances from March - May. keep in mind I'm one person also paying the weight of two others.
Power Bill: $304 = ($163 March, $141 April+May)
Wi-Fi Bill: $402 = ($202 March, $200 April)
I'm already paying my other personal debts off in addition to this. These are not a high priority but do impact my total expenses.
Med debt #1: $306 = ($102 monthly payment) almost paid off
Med debt #2: $4,249.64 = ($144 monthly payment)
I need to accumulate $800 which is effectively what rent for me would be. I know I won't land a job in time earn a fraction of this and the easiest thing for me to do is have commissions, but I won't be able to get them worked on in a timely manner with my owed queue (The queue is small, but It's still owed work) plus the monthly sketches and the recent raffle I hosted before all of this blew up on me. If I am to do this, I need the commissions to be something quick and easy while still providing a level of quality.
Another important topic of conversation that I was contemplating on was whether or not I freeze my Patreon for the month of June or let it run. Please let me know your thoughts regarding this, but I've decided to let it stay running and hopefully it's only for the short term. I'm still uploading whatever it is I'm able to work on, but for anyone who wishes to, it is understandable if you want to cancel your membership.
