I'm going through a divorce and we're still in the same house. No kids. When it is final I'll get no maintenance and I'm on social security. I try to figure out a budget and I figure I can pay everything as long as I don't eat.

How are you making it? I've read the money saving ideas, but when there is no money, what do you do?

"when there is no money, what do you do?"

There is only one choice. Get a job.

Sounds easy enough for someone like you. I am 70 years old and have pulmonary fibrosis, among other things. If you know someone who would hire me, be sure to tell them about me.

I wasn't asking for your sarcasm. I was sincerely asking for help

I wasn't being sarcastic at all. You did not give that information in your original post.

If you don't have family to help you, you should look into being declared indigent and enter a government paid nursing home.

Hello Betty,

I am so sorry you are finding yourself in this position. I have a great deal of compassion for you. Going through divorce is so difficult under all circumstances.
At 70 it must be especially stressful to face the prospect of being on your own and the challenge of supporting yourself financially. What options have you explored regarding any community or government programs that help to care for seniors? Searching on-line for programs like that is where I would start. Is your divorce final? Are you sure your are not entitled to any maintenance?

Good luck, I'm sure things will work out!
