Poor person winter survival tips
1. Humid air retains heat. Why do deserts get cold at night? The air is dry and can't retain the heat from the day. Put a pot of water on the stove to boil for a bit each day to increase the humidity in your house. This will help keep the heat.
2. Insulation is key. Cover windows with whatever you can, plastic, curtains etc. Place towels in front of the bottoms of doors and put rugs down over hardwoods and tile.
Hey family - I'm very broke right now. Is there a master list on how to survive when you have no money? We have a month to go before we get a paycheck and we're desperate.
Not that I know of, though I'm sure there'll be plenty of links in the notes. I can give some suggestions though.
-Look for food banks in your area, churches and 99cent stores. Contact every church nearby regardless of faith and ask if they do free grocery days or have a food bank of their own. -There are survey sites that give you money for completing surveys. I don't like pitching them because it makes me feel skeevy, but a safe one that I've used is ispos isay. Unfortunately it takes a while to find a survey that accepts you but it's something.-Ask for money online for help paying bills.-Potatoes. And Chorizo. Chorizo stretches for days and potatoes have always had the backs of poor people. Sure you're gonna hate chorizo potatoes when you're back on your feet but they'll take care of you.-When I or my family has trouble paying the electricity we go to this place downtown which I believe is called EOC, and they help us pay our electrical bill. I would suggest looking for something similar in your area.-Look for any programs that'll help take care of utilities. It might take some digging to find them but it might be worth it.-Keep an eye out for free food posts. Make a post asking for food. Make an amazon wishlist of food items and post it, and ask people to send you food. Do the same for toilet paper, shampoo, soap, daily needs. People seem to like having the option to donate money or products, and it should help.
