My sister was dead broke at the beginning of her career.

She ate a lot of 16 bean soup.

You have to make it the way the instructions say or it’s terrible,

But that and some rice will get you through a lot of days.

OK, sorry. But do a search for LHEAP in your state. It’s a federal program that will give you money for your energy bill.

Also, look into getting food stamps.

You can’t eat out really, stuff like ramen and canned corn and beans and peanut butter bought in bulk goes a long way. Eating only what’s on sale and drinking water is important too. You will save so much money and calories drinking water. I would just chill it, the colder it is the better it tastes.

I used to live on about this month when I smoked a pack a day and also was responsible for rent and utilities all on a 1000 dollar monthly check.
