Fortunately, I live with other people in a really old house who's mortgage was payed off many millennia ago lol. There's some drawbacks, transportation isn't very good, no buses. House is falling apart, needs much work.....but generally as long as I'm minding my own and not causing drama (I'm an introvert loner anyway) they don't really mind me being here. I do have kids and a life so I wish I wasn't in this situation but whatever they live here too and are also taken care of. How do I have money? Well I was just unemployed for over a year (before the probation) and the answer to that question is.......I didn't have money lol. I barley got by and honestly have my children's mother to thank that I did at all, but at the end of the day it was worth it compared to basically half running a company and doing 9 different job titles and being stressed out of mind hating waking up every day just for $14 an hour. Life is just too damn short to hate your very existence like that for a dollar bill. My attitude on that has a little to do with my situation, yes, but I'd feel that way regardless. My fines are not 100 percent payed, but I haven't missed any months of payments and have been paying more than the minimum. And you're right, when I described my living situation to her at first she was a little confused but I think when she actually showed up to my house and seen that I do indeed split a house with these people she understood what I was trying to describe to her. Furthermore if she was preparing a violation warrant would she really agree to let me go on a vacation out of state, let alone one where I straight up told her it was a music festival, by name ? Lol I don't know the whole situation is just very confusing. Guess I just won't drink, simple answer lol........but it's very depressing just thinking about that event with out alcohol.
