My sister*, who I've been supporting financially for the last several years, just had her power go off due to nonpayment. She's terrible at managing her finances, her girlfriend isn't much better, and they are both on medical disability but not yet on social security so they can't work but also aren't getting any money.
Believe me, if I wrote down everything she has wrong with her, you'd barely believe it could all happen to one person (let alone one who's still alive). She deserves the social security if anyone does, but the system moves so very slow.
And...my job contract ended early due to the project coming to a close. I moved in with my fiancee on the expectation that it would actually be a year contract like it said. I probably won't get paid this much again, and if I have even a little delay between jobs, I can't pay the rent for both myself and my sister. I budgeted enough to keep her going after the start of next month, before she completely blew off her utilities again.
She's going to be homeless after next month, and will probably end up couchsurfing. I can't put her up at my place, there's no other family to take care of her either. I have no idea what will happen with her three cats that she loves more than life itself. (If you think that three cats is excessive for someone with no income, see second paragraph and consider her tenuous sanity.)
I'd told her I could support her until her lease ran out this time, and no longer. That's in December and I couldn't even make it that far. The last three years of taking care of her have left me so dead broke that I can't even do that. I've got like three different collections agencies coming after me right now because of my own medical debt.
Just wish I could take care of her better. But more than anything else, I'm just tired. I want to have a savings again. While I'm taking care of her, I can't do anything for my own future.
*not biological sister, but close enough
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the dentist gave me what is turning out to be a week's supply of painkillers for the two week wait before I see him next. This is three-vicodin-a-day pain. If I had this anywhere else in my body, I'd be tempted to take time off...but 1) I'd feel stupid taking sick days for dental work, and 2) I don't get sick days. Next week is going to suck.
