How is everyone out there making it financially?

74. Trying to shed additional costs.

Not everyone in my household of three generations seems to want to help me do that, though.
Side note, if you know your adult kid has mental issues, don't let them move back in "until they get back on their feet." Because 8 times out of 10, they'll just keep trying to relive the 90's TV version of young adulthood they think they deserved, rather than actually get back on their feet...
On edit, it sounds extremely cruel, but it's been unfair and disruptive to the rest of the family, especially their kids they left you to raise, when the supposedly grown adult tries to explain their expensive self-medicating and shopping therapy away as "none of your business" while their only options is living under your roof or in their car.
One upside, we got an EV last year and disabled spouse has been taking advantage of it doing a couple hours pizza and burrito taxi (deliveries) when he can function. He generally makes about 4 times a week more what he spends to charge, so that's a plus -but his takehome usually averages around $400 a month. I can't imagine what it would cost for someone gig driving an older ICE engine or worse - diesel.
He says he sees a lot of older EVs at the commercial chargers in the mornings after he drops me off at work with UBER and Lyft stickers or light bars.
