Think what do I need. Not coffee every morning, Internet could go, do you really need television if you have financial problems? If you've got cell data, is it absolutely necessary to have? What about getting rid of those old clothes you never wear anymore and could have a yard sale for? Take out all the unnecessary items and you'll find you're richer than you think.

maybe you need a sugar daddy??? and by sugar daddy I don't mean myself... I don't have money

Many times food pantries have toilet paper and other toiletries that they can give you, as well as food if you need it. I would recommend going by a local food pantry rather than stealing from work.

Consider washing your behind with water.. You won't have to steal toilet paper.

Risky. Now you might not have a job to go back to at all.

Instead of stealing the whole roll at once, maybe you could just take six squares and stuff it in your pocket/purse everyday. I do it when I need an emergency tissue and nobody ask questions. Also, meat is not necessary but you do need your dairy product and soy milk is just too expensive, so go for beans and tofu and shredded cheese. Also, you might be throwing away edible parts of veggies. Start eating your cauliflower green, watermelon rind and radish tops; they are both nutritious and delicious. Keep your cell if that's the only phone you have but beware the pesky phone calls during weekdays when it costs more. Nobody, I repeat, nobody wants to buy used clothes nowadays but you could do some mileages by insulating your apartment better and calling your mom; I'm sure she will be delighted to have news from you and you could have at least a decent meal in the process. There are other money saving tips all over the Internet; some are good, some are bad and some actually cost money, so beware and good luck!

Cuz we's all here for sage financial advice.

Oh my little girl cutycat136, first you are 17. So when you pay for all your stuff yourself and have a job and pop out a few kids..and live on your own..then and only then can you give advice on financial matters.. second that stuff is not good advice. Don't steal is..you can't just drop your data plan without changing your contract depending on companies..you can't just drop satellite tv either due to contract requirments. Now to OP you can find toilet paper for pretty cheap at walmart. IT is not great toilet paper but it works. Also when you get paid. there is a one ply paper we get from walmart. it is Great Value brand..It doesn't sound nice but you get a big package and it last forever!! I have 4 in my family and we only have to buy it every couple of months.
