“Considering visiting a local food bank”
What Actually Happened
I'm struggling to make ends meet, barely affording rent, bills, and food. My job has no benefits, and I'm in debt with student loans. Going to the food bank feels like a last resort, but I'm not sure if it's selfish.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a stable job with benefits and a clear financial plan."
