I just got approved for Section 8 housing assistance.

I feel like such a loser.

Any advice?

Maybe you should be feeling lucky instead?

Spend your savings on a new drug addiction

Get off in 3-4 years and get on with your life. As long as you're not mooching forever like some parasites

who gives a fuck, dude? It’s shit out there. This may or may not be 100% your fault but it’s undeniable that getting back onto your feet for any reason, whether your own fuckup or not, way more difficult than “usual”. At least you still have a physical address. You’re pretty fucked if you lose that.
Some section 8 is wedged into some pretty nice areas. I know this because I am kinda pissed about some in my own affluent suburb because the city tucked them away and put them in there quietly and now nobody they’re there and won’t believe me that we actually have section 8 kek. Also nobody seems to know why our schools have so many more fights than before but I digress heavily. Is this apartment in a nice area or not, that’s what I’m getting at?
Just because you’re living in a “poor place” doesn’t have to be undignified. Just keep clean in the literal sense and do what you can to get out of there.

Most people would look at this as a win. Are you trying to farm loosh or what? Nobody cares. Your life is easier now. Enjoy the meth or whatever

Better than being a tax cuck like me.
I don't blame you at all fren.
You work and they tax you into oblivion.

Is it a high rise? Do a flip faggot

Oh shit... I ain't never seen a nigga with a real ass before! What's up, shorty? You keeping it real?

I'm applying for unemployment. I wake up every day and don't do a whole lot that feels like I'm moving my life forward and definitely feel like a loser as well. Not much to offer in the way of advice, just that you're not alone and it's pretty rough out here for a lot of folks
>>

>unemployment
don't you have to like continuously prove that you're searching for jobs for that shit?
>>
>>35027487
Yeah I haven't gone through the process of submitting it yet but I've been noting down the info I need for the past couple weeks.
>>
>>35027501
sounds like a pain in the ass

Don't feel bad for getting help from the government. This is what they should be doing in the first place instead of bombing innocent people and locking them up.
I'm not American but I've heard Section 8 is hard to get. Consider this a win.
>>
>>35027585
Yeah I guess we'll see how annoying the official process ends up being, but honestly I don't mind a bit of structure that comes with a simple concrete goal (i.e. do some job applications each week, as opposed to the more nebulous "prepare for interviews", or "study every technical skill that there is")
>>

Congrats anon
Take care of yourself <3
