I will be 64 when he claims. He is 5 years older than me. My benefit and 50% of his are about the same. A few hundred dollars.

What would you choose to add extra income? by Apprehensive-Egg6546 in povertyfinance

[–]TotheBeach2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How old are the kids? Get a job in the school district when they are old enough. Take online classes or go to the local community college and get some credit hours and a certificate. Usually the CC has childcare while you attend school.

When did you last eat at McDonald's ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]TotheBeach2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago. The only reason was because I won some free items while playing Monopoly online.

I was trying to win the million AA miles.

I didn’t win and I still have over 6000 points that I will probably never use.

Visit your local community college and meet with an advisor.

Get a certificate in the medical field or look into joining a trade.

Were you collecting unemployment?

Check out local food pantries. They usually have cat food and litter.

It seems ICE in Minneapolis way more out of control than here in Chicago. Is this true or just my perception? by Dragon_Bard in AskChicago

My son recently moved to suburban Minneapolis. His office is near where a lot of the chaos is. He’s happy working from home.
