Money problems - No internet for weekend

[RTBARCHIVE]

To start this topic off, im going to say that this is probably the last day im active until next week. (This message is to my steam friends, and is NOT a goodbye message.)
So basically, our insurance charged $200 more than what we hoped for and we couldnt pay for Cox internet and cable, HULU, and Xbox Gold. We're now without any entertainment with the weekend. This sucks.

I found a bunch of pennies in front of my house the other morning. Granted I threw them there In a drunken fit the night before but still

why are your parents living paycheck by paycheck?

we're actually living by social security checks
none of us except for my grandmother is fit enough to work, and she just says "i put out the forms". Shes been saying this for about 4 months now, and i knew from week 3 of that excuse that it was - you guessed it - an excuse.
I just haven't the heart to talk to her about this, since i dont want to make her more stressed.

For a portion of my highschool years me and my mother were basically living off of the government. Food stamps, and things like that. She had trouble finding work since she wasn't working when she was with her boyfriend since he had a loving huge pension but things fell through and me and her went packing. I couldn't work/I had major troubles in finding work since I was a minor.

It's sucks donkey richard but you'll get through it man.

No internet for a weekend?
A few years back I went a month with no electricity. Because my parents decided to spent their money on a vacation at an expensive hotel instead of paying bills

They didn't, but the electricity was shut off after they came back, so at least they had to deal with it too.
It wasn't anywhere as extravagant as Vegas though. I don't remember where it was, but it was somewhere in our state

My family is super poor. We only shop at the 99 cents store and usually I only have about 5$ at my disposal every day. I also have a crappy Mac and stuffty Internet

Oh and the power goes out every couple of days and I have to talk to the manager to get it up again
