guys i fucked up bad. 1000 dollars would unironically change my life right now
The cheap car purchase as one scenario could in fact change someone’s life.
1000 bucks for a PO Box so you have a physical address so you can receive benefits, or use it to apply for jobs, etc.
A haircut, a suit, some shoes, now you can get a job hopefully as you’re interview ready.
Putting a down payment down on an apartment providing a stable home so you are safe and can start to rebuild your life.
You’re lucky that you can’t imagine a scenario where that amount of money could change your life.
1000 bucks wouldn’t change my life, 10000 wouldn’t, but I’ve been in a place where 100 bucks could change my life
