Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That’s all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I’m a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I’m paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.
I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I’ve always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.
I never did - I have two hands and a brain to support myself, usually.
That being said, if I was unable to work for whatever reason, I would apply and I wouldn’t feel guilty for it.
At the end of the day I paid taxes for number of years to contribute.
