How do people live without income?




     Ive been dealing with this for over 5 yrs, ever since i left the resort over 2 hip implants and a knee surgery, I cant just walk around all day like that but noone else will hire me. I have tried everything to get a job but nothing works. I can get foodstamps and medicaid but no cash but you cant buy toilet paper with foodstamps, Ive tried school but i think i have a learning disability and i end up with d's which puts me on probation and i got a d again so now i cant even do that. I cant get ssi, already tried, I thought about trying it with stuff like learning disabilities and see what happens since they wont help with the physical issues. I have hud which helps but i cant create my own job which wouldve solved all this. i cant even sell avon, thought of donating plasma since where i live they pay for it but dont know if they will take it cause one time when i tried it they couldnt find a vein. I cant even so much as find a babysitting job, not even walking dogs. its like nothing works. i think people can be discriminating cause when i had the job about handing out samples they sent this lady to train me and she mentioned how i wouldnt be able to reach the shelves and ever since then they canned me. so what am i supposed to do for income when nothing works? any ideas?

    How is your rent paid?  I know thru the Housing Authority a person STILL has to pay rent, even if it's 30% of your income.  The Housing Authority will lower the rent IF something happens where one has no income, but they give a person a year to get income be able to get on their feet. But a person still has to pay something.  This I know because one of my best friends has been working for the Housing Authority since 1992.

  • When I was between job I'd do telemarketing. I'm really good at it, but I really hate it. :)

  • I guess I was good at it because I wouldn't try to overcome the 'customers' objections. If they said they weren't interested, I'd thank them, tell them to have a nice day and go on to my next call. I always seemed to have more done that the others,
