  1. Same here ! Last year I went into a new line work and studied sign language at night time and was able to upgrade my career right before oanedemic hit ! I am so so so so thankful ! I work full time 4 days 12-15 hours to make ends meet to have my own apt , food and a phone , bus fares but I am so grateful for these things ! I am frugal with my money and shop smart , bulk buy for cheaper and prep meals , and cut all expenses on myself bar a hair cut once a year .I do my own nails or eyebrows at home if needed . Don’t drink , smoke or go out . But I’m so blessed ! I may not be able to hit clothes for myself like I would like but I know I am far well off than some and I was blessed to find a new career in social care with better money than being a nursing assistant . I don’t get any help from government at all , any extra income I do earn on holidays or Sunday’s I save into a credit union and be smart to get ahead since I have no family alive such parents or grandparents 🙏 so blessed so grateful !

  2. I ment to say I wasn’t so blessed before and I had a vision to never quit and find a way - even if I am going totally deaf I refused to give up and find a better paying career 🙏❤️ Most told me go on disability but I refused !
