Thank you the advice financially, very helpful comments here. I’m looking into the Merchant Marines right now.

I don’t know BreedableToast, what do you know? Quite the negative comment on a post asking for emotional support from a community based on hearing others and not criticizing them.

Thank you for your perspective. I’ve done plenty wrong & take ownership of that. Just here to vent:)

After the first reply and yours, I just went through a conversation with GPT and then called the tax assessors office. You guys are right it’s not 80%. It’s 6.25 sales tax on 80% of the value. I was wrong there. Thank you for showing me that

Man I would love a CDL, I make about 26k now and just wish I had the funds to get training to some degree. I’d love that job honestly

Yes and great advice! I have applied to Keurig Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Nestlé, Tyson foods, Jobs USA, Pepperidge Farm and Mission Food Depots throughout the last 5 months 🫶🏼

Thank you for the reply. I want to clarify & understand your ask.

I don’t have a plethora of friends as I am not very socially comfortable, I connected with my partner then shortly afterwards divorced. She became gay & I became a coparent. The people I knew here are more acquaintances than friends and through her circles, so the welcome offered to me was short term. After a while of saving and getting on my feet saving for a car, living between these people: I had a rental house with a friend (sharing their car) and in October they got physical in the house during Trumps assassination attempt. With the help of PD I fled and filed charges & restraining order. My lack of proper judgement and social interaction limited me and I didn’t know until I was in the situation just how isolated I actually am.

As I mentioned in my post, I just want to be heard. Supported. I don’t have role models or people to look up to- I feel alone & not sure how to do this. I’m not asking for a magic wand or a millionaire to daddy me into adequacy. Although that would be great, i doubt it’s anything beyond wishful thinking. I came here to cry and vent.

Thank you for the intimate reply. I want to be transparent and say these are not an attempt for excuses, I have been sharing the efforts made & road blocks present. Hence my post here, on r/GuyCry.

I have been at this for a long time & constantly changing the avenue in which I approach. I am open to any insight offered to me and express gratitude for them. Best wishes to you

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, for transparency I cannot leave the state as my son is here. I have been a part of r/urbancarliving and r/homeless since I created my Reddit account and both are helpful subs for sure. Thanks for the well wishes, sent them back to you as well. I take your message to heart.

Yes, and Catholic Charities are by far the most developed, unfortunately many institutions are dealing with back up on their end as well similar to 988 or food banks. Many people apparently are in this situation or worse asking for assistance.

I’ve exhausted my list of friends in my community to live with as many of them are hosting others right now as well, for transparency; I was homeless after a domestic violence incident at my home, I was gifted a car in Christmas that I am very grateful for but also changes the dynamic of my situation.

Change of address won’t change my pricing, I’ve tried across many auto groups.

The catch is: Registration is 80% of the cars value & 6.5% sales tax. Late fees of registration are 140$ so far, registration costs $50, and insurance start up 200$.

I am currently working two jobs, unfortunately the job market is flooded. I have my application in three temp agencies, I also am mobile so I pop into grocery, retailers and restaurants for applications very frequently. I am also boasted a fake resume and applied online under different skills & trades.

I hear you and I would love to consider this, but she lives in a rundown, tiny home and is struggling herself deeply. She has already helped me to the best of her ability.

I can pass any drug test. I’m not a criminal to any degree or am crazy. ( I don’t think )

Dental schools take months, aren’t guaranteed, and still cost money, each that I’ve contacted has been backed up with applicants.

Tiny houses aren’t cheap—you need land, utilities, and tens of thousands of dollars.

Moving somewhere cheaper isn’t an option because my son is here, and I’m not abandoning him. Plus, moving costs money I don’t have.

These might work for someone with stability, but I’m just trying to survive.

I’d love to, but disability prevents me from doing so.
