Ask me about the economic crisis

We have no money.

Literally.

All of it has been drained by the fact that there are no jobs in this area and they won't give my parents disability even though their doctors say they qualify for it. We've also had to use the remainder of our cash to pay for repairs to this house because it's a fucking shithole.

Sounds like you probably don't have adequate health insurance either, so you're in a pretty bad place. Best thing I could tell you is to make every dollar count, live by a strict budget and work hard, whether you deliver some pizzas or mow lawns, and pay for enough stuff to keep the lights on, food on the table and a roof over your head, and save the rest. Don't worry about investing for a long time, just save money in a regular savings account for a while.

Actually, the state pays for everything healthcare wise. It's been that way for about 7 years.

Oh the bliss.
