Should I get off of disability?

Should I get off of disability?

be me

33 years old

been on disabilitybux since 2014-15

currently get $1745 a month

rent's $1000

car insurance is close to $200

phone bill $200

barely have any money left for the entire month

I was working DoorDash for a while but my car broke down from a bad alternator and I lost that gig. Then I lost the Uber Eats gig. Then I did Instacart for a while and that was okay but I ended up losing that too. So what the fuck should I do now? I'm not killing myself so don't even start that shit.

If you want more money get a job, if you're fine living like this then don't get a job.
If you dont want a dead end job, go to college.
If you cant afford college, save up for it/goto a community college or technical school.
the choice is yours.

They're all great options. Problem is, I have fucking autism and PTSD so I defeat any good shit that I even start to begin. I could easily have the state pay for my college. I almost did before. That's not an issue for me. And yeah, I could get a job but I'm literally limited to an extra $1,620 per month. Most of these dumb ass places would put me over that SGA limit which would cause me to lose my benefits. The only fucking real reason why I stay on disability is because of my medical coverage. That's pretty much it. I could go find a job that makes me a hell of a lot more money.

I could get my LPN and make fucking $30 an hour here. I just don't know what to do. I'm at like a third of my life crisis right now.

You don't need a car, sell that and you get $200 money each month. Move somewhere cheaper, $1000 is way too much for a single person. How the fuck is a phone bill $200, you should be able to get something for like $50 if that. Spend less, or earn more, pretty much.

Why don't I need a car? It's paid off. Also, nothing in Delaware is cheap at all whatsoever. Phone bill is $200 because it's an unlimited plan with a brand new phone that I'm still paying on. I'm stuck in a fucking contract

You make terrible financial decisions. You can easily have gotten one of those Boost Mobile or Metro PCS deals that would be more affordable. You were stupid and did what poor people do that keeps them poor, bought shiny gadgets you can't afford. Drop collision on your car insurance. Get a fucking job. Stop being a bum and living like white trash.

Why are you so mad at me, man? Like I did something to fucking slight you in some fucking way. I want to fucking work. The job market in Delaware is dogshit though. I went on an interview for a full time courier position and I'm waiting to hear back about it. And yeah, I could've went to Boost or Metro but I'm also not a nigger, okay?

Yeah, I want to get liability on my car. That would help quite a bit. Hopefully would help. We'll see. But to assume that I'm some fucking bum is ridiculous. I do a LOT of gig work. From fucking Amazon Flex to DoorDash to Instacart. It's just very fucking difficult right now. You wouldn't get it, what the fuck do you know about difficulty? You probably still live at home with your parents. Don't ever judge me or my fucking decisions when you're not man enough to survive what I've been through. If you want to give advice, that's perfectly fine but don't be some condescending prick about it, dude.

Loses three menial delivery jobs

"So what the fuck should I do now?"

Gee I wonder.

My car literally broke down, how the fuck is that my fault? You think I wanted my alternator to go bad, dude? Yeah I totally self sabotaged making $500 a week delivering DoorDash, right sure. Go fuck yourself.

What has happened to modern males?

Be me

At work in break room with some coworkers in their early 20s

Snow storm that day

Everyone talking about how shitty driving to work was that day

I comment that my car is AWD and gets around in the snow pretty good

Zoomer laughs and says he doesn't know if his car is front, rear, or AWD.

I ask how the fuck he can't know what his car has

2 other zoomers at the same table take his side and say they don't know what their cars are either

The three of them then proceed to try to mock me for knowing what wheels are driven on my car

Seriously what the fuck is going on with "males" these days?

I thought Americans only get EBT food stamps and you had to go to Canada/Australia/Germany/etc to get paid money for nothing. That wage is pretty good too. You're roughly getting accountant or junior engineer bucks. Maybe I go to America and suddenly "seizures" oh no I can't work anymore. Too bad they're incurable and with the mechanism unknown undetectable haha. God bless U S and A

kek get dunked on, unc.

been disabled since birth :(

You may not be a nigger but you still make stupid financial decisions. You lost a door dash gig over an alternator? You can't buy a new one and self install?? I didn't dash for months and I was still able to hop on and get money. Get a 35 dollar phone plan from Walmart or even the 45. Anon was a condescending prick because your parents didn't raise you with any fucking sense boy. Keep living out of your means and be a broke bitch or cut back and save. 1700 isn't a lot a month I get that but you make the situation way worse by choosing to be a dumbass. Or youre literally a retard that can't take care of yourself and thats why you need to suck uncle Sam's cock. A little tip for you bro, when you dash put some money aside for maintenance.

why the fuck is your phone bill 200 dollars a month?

You lost a door dash gig over an alternator?

yeah I literally did. Was on a double delivery, went to a food truck (a bunch of food trucks on a plot of land ran by hispanics), so I get there for the order and it's a routine type of thing I've done thousands of times. pick the order up, the people were cool as shit, get in my car, the fucking thing won't turn over. So I call AAA because I thought it was the battery or I just needed a jump. I get a jump, drive towards the customers house and it dies again. So I fucking had the thing towed, DoorAss told me to keep the orders. Check my account a little while later and I was deactivated.

You can't buy a new one and self install??

I did buy a new one, I just don't know mechanic shit. My uncle literally has his own shop so I let him fucking do it but he was so backed up with work that I couldn't get it done immediately. You act like I'm making shit up just to hear myself talk.

Also you're probably younger than me so you ain't giving me no fucking advice, youngin. Watch your mouth. Don't ever disrespect me. You talking out your neck with all that goofy shit.

Phone bill is $200 because it's an unlimited plan with a brand new phone that I'm still paying on. I'm stuck in a fucking contract

thats your fault really. you couldve just bought a phone for $200 and got a normal $30/mo plan or got a $30/6months prepaid plan.
you're disabled at home, not like you need roaming data anyway.

Because I have Verizon?

what phone do you have and is it paid off?

I got the phone because I was doing doordash and all that shit.

16 Pro Max 256GB. And nope.

not that anon, but its a 3 week waiting list for a mechanic these days.
if you dont know how to fix your own car you're fucked in the modern day.

Don't you need an engine stand and home mini crane to replace an alternator after unbolting the body from the tranny? Modern cars are all squashed up and fucked to work on unlike your 1980s shitboxes that you can literally stand in the engine bay. I doubt he could even fit his hand in or there's any clearance to fit a wrench in. Same deal with computers and shit where it's all glued together and the bootloader is locked and other preventative measures. Modern products are just shit to work on broadly.

get a real job? or just enlist again i guess

well if it was paid off i would advise you to look into visible but it seems like you are stuck until it is

Working for delivery apps is basically eating your car. You use your car more, so it will break more, you need to save money to deal with the maintenance. Often you don't even break even, so you're basically working for free for the app owner. It's a retard trap for retards, like you.

Yeah it's a fucking 2011 Camry. It's not that easy lmao

Why is your car insurance and phone bill so high?

Car insurance you may not be able to do anything about, but there are plenty of unlimited data phone plans for $50/month, can't fathom why you're paying $200

Yeah I know. thanks anyway fren

Which is why I'd rather drive for a company. Like I used to.

Why is your car insurance and phone bill so high?

Bad credit.

You're not the only one with autism or PTSD who went out and made something of yourself. If you're going to keep the defeatist attitude then don't even try, just take your neetbux and live whatever life you can.

Fucking hate when people come here asking for advice and after they get it they immediately start in with the I can't do it because XYZ medical condition. You think you're the only one with mental struggles? Grow up and do something with yourself, or don't. Only you can decide if it's worth it or not.

What if I don't want to keep going, man? I'm fucking tired of it all. Part of me doesn't even wanna be here anymore.

Describes exactly nothing OP could've done better.

You're presupposing options OP does not have access to. Economies are geographically distinct.

on a 2011 Camry it would probably take an hour to replace the alternator if you use a youtube video, even if you've never done anything under a car hood ever.

I think you have to maybe remove one house lmao.

You seem a bit full of shit here buddy

You're not setting the car on fire, you're selling it off, it is irrelevant whether it's paid off, you're losing money to depreciation, maintenance, and insurance. Use the money you get to pay of your phone, don't do stupid shit in the future like buying some phone you can't afford, pay off any other debt you have gotten into, and put the rest into a mutual fund. And get used to taking the bus.

I need this and that and this and that

why am I so pooooor

sell the car. buy a used bike for getting around. if you don't have a real job then you don't need a fucking phone, dipshit. cut down on food expenses. when I was a poorfag I lived off homemade sauerkraut, sourdough, and eggs. I'm talking less than 7 dollars of food a day. and I still made strength gains.

I don't wanna fuck my car up :(

shut up faggot, not everyone had a nice mommy and daddy to pay and coddle them through college so they could turn in a unsympathetic cunt like you, please kys.

Sounds fucking faggoty, no thanks

then stay poor nigga, I'm just pointing this shit out so no one gives you money when you start begging for it.

I'm a fucking numale that doesn't even know what front wheel drive or real wheel drive means

I am practically a woman

Get dunked on you toxic male

this is where the alternative is on a 2011 camery seems pretty buried

No your solution to everything is some boomer ass remedy. "hurr dude fix it yourself! bootstraps! i walked to school!" shut the fuck up, I'm not fucking my Camry up when I don't even know how to maintain the goddamned thing myself. Sure, do I need a car? Probably not that bad. But I love my car.

I literally grew up in a garage lmao but sure I don't know shit about fixing cars or about cars at all whatsoever. No one gives a fuck about your gay ass megafinanced AWD shitbox. Try working on a fucking 82 Scirocco on the side of the road. Or an 89 Targa Supra. You don't know shit about shit, boy.

>I am practically a woman

Yes. Yes you are.

Sorry to see you got fucked like that by doordash. You don't need to be a mechanic to tackle a job like that. Youtube and a will my friend. I am younger than you yes but when my shit breaks, I fix it. You are too old to be getting a 200 dollar a month phone plan you can't truly afford. You should fucking know better. I've made poor financial decisions man I hate that for you but I try to avoid making my situation harder on myself. Seeing how ignorant you are with these replies makes me feel like you can't be helped. You never grew up. And yeah people are being mean to you right now but you need to hear it. The fact you made it this far without solving this problem yourself is crazy. Makes me feel like you're stupid. Grow the fuck up.

Unless you have a serious, medical condition, you can get help for that on the internet.

Do iPhones really cost $200 burger dollars a month for presumably 24 months? That's $4800, the cost of a used car or two, for a mini computer designed exclusively to play GameCube-tier Genshin Impact games and scan QR codes at resteraunts. Maybe if I was some gaming fag I'd splurge on a $2000 on a top of the line graphics card for 16k cinema bullshit, but spending the same to play Marvel Snap TCG on the toilet? What the fuck is wrong with people?

its the cost of the phone nad the plan the phone is on ad with verizon you cant go back on it once you have it they will lokc the phonwe tell you to keep the hardware and send a bill for the full amount so even if he could get a phone on a payment plan without service he would still be stuck with it and in a position where a lawsuit would come easy

US economy runs on people doing their best to scam each other, OP is a retard so he gets scammed the hardest.

I'm just really impulsive, man. People always took care of my problems for me. You're right, I don't know how to do a lot of shit.

I DO have a serious medical condition.

you ought to be ashamed of yourself fucking over studio Ghibli

why?

using AI to make an image in their style they have expressly said it was fucked to do

Post your fucked up cripple legs or whatever's wrong with you

im going to hell for laughing at that

simping for a major media corporation

I'm not physically crippled lol

I PLAY POKÉMON GO EVERYDAY
I PLAY POKÉMON GO

WHEN I GET UP
NOT PAYING MY RENT
I GOTTA CATCH EM ALL

I GOTTA PLAY POKEMON
ALL DAY LONG
ALL DAY LONG

using AI ever

in 10 years when everything is generic bland slop with no human touch dont come crying to me

I literally grew up in a garage

Doesn't know how to change an alternator

Sure thing buddy

That isn't an accurate diagram. That is a generic picture. It shows a longitudinally mounted 4 cylinder. That isn't how any Camry has ever had its engine mounted. They are horizontal.

You don't need to pay rent in jail.

Just trying to point out the spending problem before it gets worse. He needs to realize what he can actually do for himself. Reflect on past mistakes to make better decisions. Judging by the replys OP seems clueless why he's in this situation. I'm pointing out why. What can he really do now. Finish his contract and get a cheaper plan. Find a new gig. MAKE BETTER FINANCIAL DECISIONS. He already dug the hole and before he can get out he has to finish his contract and probably his lease. Cut back spending.

Disconnect negative battery terminal

Relieve tension & remove serpentine belt

Unplug alternator connector + power cable

Remove alternator mounting bolts (2–3 bolts)

Pull alternator out carefully

Install new alternator, reverse steps

Reinstall belt, reconnect battery, start & test

That's the thing: I'm fucking terrible with money. Like it's scary how bad I am with it.

Just as I thought, that image isn't accurate at all. Here is a 2011 Camry engine bay with alternator circled. Pretty similar to any 4 cylinder front wheel drive car. Super easy to access and replace.

That's so much nicer looking than mine lol

It is from a car for sale at a dealership. It was probably cleaned and detailed for the pictures.

Wonder how much they want for it

Already sold. I just Google image searched 2011 Camry engine bay and scrolled until I found one with a good view of the alternator.

Not enough, we should take yours and give it to him, at least then it wouldn't be wasted on memecoins.

i dunno anymore :(

I'm judging tf out of your retarded nigger ass right now hombre

Then judge me all you want. You'd probably like me in real life though. I'm not some piece of shit. Just a fuck up sometimes.
