    Small allowance from parents, enough to cover meals at school. Otherwise I don't spend a damn thing.

    I have disabilities that make my life veeeerrrrry uncomfortable, to say the least. I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this comment, seeing at that I'm "living off" a paltry amount of money from the government, with a low limit to how much I can keep. But I do pay for a part of utilities in our home, so it's not like I'm a deadbeat.
