It's hard but you are doing it. Don't forget to find away to enjoy yourself, is there a friend you haven't talked to in a long time?

I'm doing fine really, just stressed about money. Working overtime where I can and keeping expenses low.

I play D&D with friends twice a week. Low cost, high imagination way to hang out.

The main issue is that we took in someone in need this last summer who can't pay their own way and for now, we are shouldering the difference.

It's worthwhile but taxing.

That's so kind and awesome of you.

Is it looking like a long term situation?

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Probably for at least a year.
