I stumbled across this site for, I suppose, reasons why others find this site; I am desperately looking for answers, advice and help. Like many most of my troubles stem from my lack of money - I have no debts and very low monthly expenses. Basically, if I could find some way to generate just $150 - $200 a week I'd be okay. Still, even that much seems to be beyond me. Somehow I need to find a way to make life feel like it used to - As if there is a future and possibilities for me too. I feel trapped in a shrinking box.

I'm an artist and most everyone tends to like my work - But making them leap from liking to buying is something I haven't mastered. In this economy getting any job is difficult and living in Michigan doesn't help. Sweeping floors would be fine if I could keep a roof over my head and food on the table. (Forget needing dental help, help with transportation etc.)

I don't think I can ask any specific questions right now. Maybe I'm just too embarassed to admit that I even need help? I've never asked for help before. Perhaps the best thing for me right now is to simply read? Who knows? Maybe I can even help someone else? That's a nice thought.
