Pawn Shop

I can’t believe I’ve reached this point trapped in debt, earning a low income, and burdened by high compulsory expenses for my children’s education. Every month feels like a battle just to stay afloat. The stress is overwhelming, and despite all efforts, there’s little relief in sight. I never imagined I’d struggle this hard just to provide the basics for my family and keep hope alive.

I had to pawn my daughter’s phone just to survive. I borrowed from friends to meet a looming debt deadline. My situation feels desperate. The school where I teach is out of funds, so my salary has been postponed indefinitely. Each day is a struggle to cover basic needs. I never imagined reaching a point where I can’t even rely on my own income anymore.
Hive, where I used to earn $300 a month, no longer feels welcoming. In my opinion, it now favors fun, light, or flashy stories, while real struggles and hard-life posts often get ignored. Maybe people don’t want to face harsh realities. That’s okay, understand. You can skip my post too if it’s not your kind of story. I just needed a space to share what I’m going through.

I just hope I can find a job that allows me to cover my expenses in a more balanced and stable way. Living in constant financial stress is exhausting. I also realize that I need to look for other sources of income something extra to ease the burden and help me move forward. It won’t be easy, but I’m willing to try whatever it takes to improve this situation.

Thanks for all. I am sorry to share this hardship story but I feel relaxed after that.
