Today, my financial situation is so dire that I tried to steal toilet paper from work. I got caught. FML

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

I always hate when people are like "well cut down on this and that, you don't need a phone, you don't need internet" there was once a time when I saw an article slamming poor people for HAVING REFRIGERATORS, it's easy to tell someone to cut things out but when it comes down to it, the person saying that will probably never have to do it, and if they were in the exact same dire straights probably never would. Cancelling internet, when we live in an age where everything is on the computer?? if OP is looking for new jobs, needing to keep in contact with friends or family via email etc? and "sell your TV" what if OP doesn't have a TV and they just have a laptop? nothing to sell then, because they sure as hell aren't going to get rid of their laptop/internet which could be their only source of entertainment. "hey poor people, why don't you just get rid of everything in your life that can take your mind away from being poor, and read soup labels and stare at the wall for fun?" is pretty much what I take away from anyone telling a poor person to sell all their belongings.

Y'all try living without toilet paper and come tell me OP still deserves it

You're not alone! I always steal TP from work too ll

You should've tried sneaking it out by hiding it up your ass

Yup, I've done that. Never got caught tho!

The right way to do it is 1-2 squares at a time
