What It’s Like For Me, Being Homeless

This is a portion of what I told @greenskyoverme today about the situation when she suggested I apply for food stamps:

Basically state/federal aid is set up against anyone who's homeless, because there's so much we can't deduct in money we get to survive. Like, when we had the apartment? I could claim I paid a portion of the rent and the utilities with donations and it didn't count against me so I could get a little more in donations if needed. But now? Every cent I get counts against me, and not being able to refrigerate food means I have to spend a small fortune on fast food. Needing to take a shower means I need to spend $100 on a hotel room since it's summer and the prices are up. I don't own the car so I can't count off paying for the repairs, the smog tests, the tires, gas...I think the only thing I can claim off is my $60 a month for my phone.

It's part of the reason as soon as I got an address I started using the wish list again. If someone send me $100 in fast food gift cards and a $100 gift card to Safeway, for example, I don't have to claim it because it's not cash. If I can get someone to refill my Shell gas card on a regular basis, that covers gas and it doesn't count against me. If someone else pays for the hotel room, I don't have to get cash for it and I can still sleep in a bed/take a bath. Or if it's sent to my mom, I can pay bills out of her account, especially on things she owns that wouldn't count in my favor, and as long as her account doesn't get to $2000.01 we're good. It's a crappy system, but that was how my lawyer told me to play it until I can get SSI/SSDI, and I think last month screwed it up. I just hope it didn't.

Basically the threshold for disability people is that they can have exactly $2K in their accounts at any time. In San Diego, though, the threshold for food stamps is much lower: in the previous month, you can only make $1,200 as a single head of household to qualify, and in both July and August (because of the car repairs, needing hotels, phone problems and food costs) I went just over that threshold both months. This is a rundown of the regular bills/purchases we have every month:

$517 - Storage units, when all three are paid on time ($45 extra if one unit goes into pre-lien before we can pay it)

$60 - Car insurance

$63 - Mother's phone bill

$58 - My phone bill

$160 - Four full tanks of gas (which we rarely ever get at once, but that's how much we go through in a month)

$30 - Approximately how much we spend on the things we need to not stink (shampoos/conditioners - both wet and dry, baby powder for chaffing, baby wipes, deodorant because it keeps melting in the car)

$16 - $24 - Bladder control pads/underwear (and then sometimes an extra $6 for menstrual pads for me because the bladder pads DO NOT work well for periods...we usually get two packs a month because there's 30 to a pack and two of us)

$30 - Cat food

$30 - Cat litter

$10 - Other things the cats need (wet food, brushes, etc.)

$200 - $300 - Food to supplement what we get from food banks

$100 - $128 - The cost of one night at a hotel room at the moment (where we stayed for a week in July and five days so far in August)

So it's expensive. This isn't counting late fees when we pay a unit late, the money spent to repair the car/have two separate smog tests/get new tires, as well as replacing both my and my mother's phones due to damage in the last two months (that was about $1000 for the car stuff and $175 for the phones). And then at the beginning of the year, for example, we had to pay co-pays on most of my mother's medication. A few days ago I had to spend $40 on wrist braces that would allow me to type while wearing them. I buy cheap eyeglasses for myself and my son, but those were bought in June and came to about $100 between us when holders, cleaning wipes and an eyeglass repair kit each was added (plus non-prescription reading glasses and the extras for my mom because her prescription is all wonky). I still need two ankle braces and three hinged knee braces, all in the XXL size, which I have to buy on Amazon since they aren't in any stores I can find, and each brace is about $30 a pop. So it adds up really quickly.

Now, I know some people are looking at the food and going "Wow, that's a lot! That's too much." You know what we got from Interfaith the last time we asked for food, and this is with them knowing we're homeless and have no microwave/no refrigerator/no stove? Two cup of noodles, two cans of Vienna sausage, two cans of tuna, a loaf of Rye bread, two granola bars and four Ensures. For two people, one of whom can't eat Rye bread. And we can only get food from them every other month. That's actually typical of most food banks if you tell them you're homeless. And even then, like when we went to Brother Benno's? We got more food that had to be cooked in an oven/on a stove or refrigerated than we got canned goods we could actually use, so we gave most of it to our friends who have housing and the waitresses at the Denny's we sleep in the lot of.

I shop at Dollar Stores, I shop at Grocery Outlet, I shop at Walmart for the cheap stuff. But a lot of what we eat is fast food (Wendy's 4 for $4 at my mom's senior discount, the $2/$4/$6/$8 menu at Denny's, McDonald's $1/$2/$3 menu, the $3 hash brown things Jack In The Box has and since I can't take medication for headaches anymore, trenta-sized drinks at Starbucks that I tend to get three refills for including one to take to the car for the next morning since my refills are free with my Gold card) which is not only hella expensive, but is wreaking havoc on my body. Even when I can survive for a while on Cup of Noodles, that's also really bad for someone with arthritis and fibromyalgia who's overweight.

There's also the water issue. I tend to get a lot of free water from Starbucks, but I also tend to spend a good $15 a month on bottled water to supplement that when I'm NOT at Starbucks (especially when I overheat because of my meds). Trust me, while nowhere near as bad as other places, you don't want to drink a ton of So Cal tap water without additives like flavor packets or lemon juice. But it's something my doctors want me to do, so I try and switch out coffee for water/tea every once in a while for something healthier.

So yeah, there's a lot of expenses. It is HELLA expensive being homeless and living in a car and chronically ill, especially when the two people doing it both have different illnesses with different needs (because whoa boy, let me tell you how badly my mother is managing her diabetes right now and how much that scares the shit out of me, and the fact she can't get her blood sugar down low enough to get her PET scan to find out if the breast cancer she had is gone). I am going to call the housing people in Encinitas today if they're in the office since I finally got my Section 8 info changed over and I can just give that coordinator my phone number separately, but yeah. This is the reality I've been living with for the last eight months and it sucks.

The guy... That We bought it from...

He used to take me around when I was a kid. And I would buy an entire apartment complex in Harlem for like $50k, sell Jesse James One apartment for $75k. He would flip it... I would end up paying like 30k out of pocket to help him tho... With materials cause he could never afford to pay so he says cause i would rip him off you know... So he would then end up selling it for more than $100k so he would make well nothing... But I would let him keep the whole $100k although he. Never actually paid me the $75k for the apartment... But he would sell it straight out for the $100k then fell he owed me money...

See i was trying this trick to figure out how to get free labor... Because i was doing all this work to get people out of human trafficking... So i figured out how to do it to Jesse... Cause how do you trap people?

So I would give him the full $100k them have him pay out of pocket to rehabilitate 3 or more apartments (row houses)

Well Steve never knew i actually never took money from Jesse... But we always agreed that he owed me.. Because i couldn't be a human trafficker... But I could see how easy it was.

So Steve swore he would never get ripped off by me. Never. Ever. Ever. For nearly 30 years he's sworn he wouldn't get ripped off

Well one YouTube video later... My ass got a castle for $2.5 million USD

Jesse did pay me tho... He gave me a check one day for $600k and asked me about his commission and pay. I was all "that's not the deal buddy. Where you been living the last 5 months? How you been eating man? You get nothing"

Nah but i did give him $200k and i made $750k off a 50k purchase in SE Harlem.

Steve Vaughn never knew that tho.

Couldn't go around telling people i was making others rich. How would that look?!

So he always swore I would never rip him off.

Do you know the tax write off on a loss of a $6 million dollar house sold for $2.5M?!

At least $3.5 million

He was an old CIA lawyer back in the day i asked to make sure i didn't break laws while trying to get myself real close to as human trafficking as possible.

But he didn't know that either.

I told him I just wanted to rip people off and wanted to know how to do it legal.

He gave me good business advice and told me to figure out the rest. But he did give me "if you wanna be an ass hole" advice. Which made my eyes shine.

Jesse was good at finding people to mortgage an apartment in Harlem off Wall Street. He would ask men on Wall Street that had a certain look -- a Harlan Vibe -- guess they were from Harlem and tell them we were trying to get it back to its roots and bring Harlem back up and that is how he sold them so easily.

And he did the construction himself with his brothers. Extra sheetrock for sound control so it was more private than hearing neighborhood noise.

Chandeliers and major upgrades.

So while he got only 250k for the Harlem cause I charged him 50k rent although he claims he didn't live there -- I must had just caught him sleeping on the job. For 5 row homes... He did pretty good.

And the next 15 that needed less build and repair and just upgrades and Windows got him half million to share with his brothers.

We never told anyone. Not especially a lawyer who i paid $20 per day to help me

So i always been ripping him off!!

He always swore I wouldn't rip him off. But I always ripped him off most..

Except when i told the CIA he did earn his fee of $200 per hour. And I told the CIA he was under billing cause it cost him 2 hours to see me in commute in Harlem. And had them pay that, too.

And i would call and tell them to pay if he just talked on the phone. He said "I'm not charging you. You're a kid!"

"Is that because of my legal age?!"

So i would call back to HQ and tell them i had talked legal shit with Steve and they had to pay him again. Every dam time.

Even if he just called to cuss me out.

In a month he earned half a million. 3 million in two months.

Idk.

Jesse asked why I paid him $250k when he said he should only earned $5k and wanted to borrow money to try again to flip it and make money like me.

I told him I wanted to know how human trafficking worked and I did it. I let him sleep whenever and wherever and took him food once a day and didn't pay him for 2 months and he did all this work

And I told him "you didn't deserve to be human trafficked but I did it. I did it to the lawyer Steve, too. And now I'm rich and you're not. And I'm going to turn myself in to the CIA about Steve"

And that is how Steve became a multi-millionaire.

Because I explained to the CIA I did it to two people right under their nose.

So they paid Steve 3 full months 40 hour week days at $200 per hour

Then they took the $250k I gave Jesse and doubled up and gave him an additional $500k

So Jesse gave me $50k to buy in on a new set of row houses. 30 of them. I told him bull shit you owe me for sleeping on the job and food.

It workedm. Human trafficking is easy. Just "oh I'll pay you later" that's what they do down there.

That is why i call them all Jesse James. Anyone that worked for him in Harlem... Some weren't so great as you recently read about.

I call the one i put into Sabrina's Slavery, Papa Smurf. He lives over in Austin. Has a big ole house and a bunch of dogs.

So getting this big ole castle... I mean it's a great price and has a fantastic story.

But it means so much more because of the family we got it from.

Because we bought it from that lawyer.

That ole lawyer from with a one way hour commute Harlem.

Its a small fucking world.

Family really is family.

And I didn't even know it was his. I really just watched a video 60 seconds with Tommy Johnson Jr and it popped up under the recommended

And Ritchie told me "that house ain't on the market"

So maybe i ripped him off -- but unless he invested poorly -- he got plenty off investments on that 3m so maybe it was the first time he spent it... Well he got it all back. From build cost and maintenance and upkeep he was only gaining 200k.

Just about what jesse got on his first set of row castles down in Harlem.

Kinda a perfect world huh?

Of course before i knew who he was... I hired him for consulting again... Because i don't know the area we bought the house in... So i told him he can help with letting us know how that area is... Because he knows a different way about it than our relators.

So I bought a castle built by a CIA lawyer. So that shit is tight. Already has in home cameras.

Which Miss Gremlin said was because there was soooo many murders the cops had a feed right to their police station. Not too far off from the truth...

So yeah... Brian didn't just buy a mansion..he bought a castle.

And from family.

So its like now this big fucking legacy.

With multiple mysteries

Not bad for a 7 year old home.

I'm not just lucky. I'm grateful.

It really goes to show what you put into this world, you get back.

💞
