How are you financially?

[depressionkills]

I curious how members are doing financially...

Are you well off or struggeling? Are you conaidering CTB due to financial stress?

Do you have a car, house/apartment etc.

I realize we are from different countries so amounts will be relative of course.

Im CTBing in 12 days, so will spend the next days on this forum.

 

[rt1989526]

Lower middle class, job is unstable due to Corona and honestly I'm not very good at it. Will likely get let go soon. In a terrible unmotivated state of mind right now and doubt I could land a decent paying job in this econony.

Planning to CTB in Oct/Nov after I get a few things in order. I live in an apartment building so I need to not be found by any stupid neighbors.

How do you plan to CTB?

Broke due to Corona

 

[Superdeterminist]

Awful. Would be homeless but for my family. It's one of my primary motivators for ctb. I do not have a car or a property of my own. The mere prospect of homelessness is enough to send me into complete despair

I don't have a penny to my name. And I was fired this month.

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

I'm curious as to why you're curious about others' financial situations.

What's yours?

 

[harkovv]

im ctbing in 5 days and one of the reasons is that im going to be homeless next month. I don't own a car or any apartment, i spent all my life savings on dumb stuff so im broke af. and i lost my job due covid so yeah, fun.

 

[Isadeth]

Personally I don't consider myself broke, but I'm not wealthy either. My jobs are decent and thankfully haven't been affected really from Corona. Money is not a motivator for me to ctb. It seems everything else is that money can't fix.

 

[stillweary]

I'm doing okay compared to a lot of people. Not great, but okay. I don't have any debt, but I don't trust any institution enough to do anything with my savings. I could go back to school, but for what? For another degree that will eventually become worthless? I could put a down payment on a house, but why? Just to lose my job and have it foreclosed upon? Same with starting a business. I could invest in my business, only to end up in a frivolous lawsuit that destroys everything I've worked for. If the way that my life has gone is any indication, anything I try to build for myself will collapse pretty much immediately and any step I take to improve my life will backfire spectacularly.

 

[mahakaliSS_MahaDurga]

I have a 15 year old car that breaks down every few months, no property of my own. I am struggling financially, but that is not the reason I am considering ctb.

How do you plan to CTB?

Hanging, together with a cocktail of drugs to remove SI and/or make me pass out.

Pre Covid I was very well off. My business which I have put all my savings in, went bancrupt. As of right know, I have 0$ to my name.

 

[Ghost2211]

Dependent, that's a lot of the problem.

 

[vacant_n]

I don't have an amazing job or anything but living expenses have been low enough over the last few years that I'm not completely broke. Unfortunately I expect my living situation to change soon and that's part of why I'm tempted to cbt while I still have some breathing room.

 

[wastedyears]

If I was rich, I wouldn't kill myself. I could buy a big plot of land to get away from society. I wouldn't have to waste my days working just to put food on the table. I wouldn't have to interact with anyone. I would be free to do whatever I wanted to do. Having to go to work/school everyday is absolute garbage. It makes me unhappy. Everyone has to do this but I don't want to participate in the rat race. I don't want to live if I have to participate.

 

[Deleted-User-0]

Based on simple statistics 90% answered to this thread are in financial crisis.
That's an interesting finding

 

[AlreadyGone]

I am pretty well off. But then again, money doesn't buy happiness....

In my country I am considered wealthy. Really wealthy and our enterprise has been doing very well even with the corona situation. I don't think I've ever been happy even once in my life, and on top of that I feel guilty for feeling like this knowing my financial situation.

 

[BPD Barbie]

I'm financially screwed. Mountains of debt, no job, I absolutely hate money and how much hold and value it has in society.

 

[Sinai Silence]

Jobless and on the verge of being homeless. My mum threatens to kick me out almost everyday now. Student debt up to my ears and not much to my name.

 

[Goodbye710]

Financially I'm ok. Not depressed. I'm in heart failure.

 

[LetzteAusfahrt]

I have a debt of 450,000 CHF
I have no job
I don't have an apartment (emergency shelter)
I don't have my own car

My financial situation is shitty, but it is no reason for ctb. It is the psychological torments.

I ctb on September 27th
(pure SN without luxury)

 

[Nymph]

I'm a student so I have like almost no money

 

[Tabbyql]

I can't go to my job, because my anxiety is so bad. So I live off p.i.p (uk disability benefit) I struggle but as long as I can afford to feed my dogs it's ok.

 

[AprilsBlessings]

I'm doing great financially, but still so fucked up mentally

 

[Emily_Numb]

Fortunate. Have a house, cars, a business, nice holidays etc
But none of it matters. These things don't cure mental illness.

 

[EmbraceOfTheVoid]

Across my entire lifespan I've never had 5 figures combined so I'd say relatively broke and I don't own anything either. I'd still kill myself even with a million dollars but it'd certainly make my life easier for the time being.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'm relatively okay financially though I wouldn't say I'm affluent. My situation is a lot better than probably most peoples' on here. I live with my mom and two adult younger sisters in a house that we own (and I'm expected to eventually pay mortgages for). Personally I don't have to pay any rent, bills, or other fees of any kind since my mom and a family friend take care of all that which I'm pretty lucky for. I only ever pay for my own snacks and video games. I get financial aid from federal government and state of California to pay for my schooling expenses (luckily my mom being single and having three adult children living with her means the FAFSA basically pays off my entire tuition with a couple thousand left over for me to buy textbooks). On top of all that, one of my sisters is actually severely autistic meaning the state of California also sends us free money to aid her but we use that to supplement our budget.

tl;dr: we spend a lot in my house but we also actually earn that much too so we're somewhere in lower middle class.

 

[Final Escape]

I'm a prostitute for a living barely existing lol! I mean I can feed myself and sort of take care of myself but my days is definitely numbered. I'm very chaotic and have a disorganized life. Don't know wether I'm coming or going ever since that lockdown stuff. I don't know why I haven't mustered up the will to end it. But my life is pretty depressing. No future just misery on most days. Eventually I will have to do it while I still can carry it out.

 

[Varstraben]

I'm a well payed engineer, so no problems at this level.
Money don't make the life beautiful, you can have money, cars, apartment, good situation but feel lonely every times and having crappy memories moments that break your mind.

 

[J113632]

I'm somehow doing fine. I life with a roommate and we split all of our bills. I did quit my job a while ago because of the anxiety of going back after being away for so long because of covid. It's starting to fuck me up not having a job and the way people react to that like I'm worthless for no longer working a mundane job with people who don't give a shit about me. I want to either ctb soon or just sit in my room for another two or three months drinking and having panic attacks.
