As the title says. I need support for September. The reason being that this month seems to be rather more difficult than I expected, August was also difficult for me. I only get (for now) around 247000 ISK a month in social welfare, in other currencies that’s about 1732 USD, 1727€. That is not enough because in Denmark I pay for most bills for 3 months at the time and few bills monthly. I wish all bills where monthly, but that is not how the system works in Denmark (there is a slow change to paying monthly, but many companies continue to require three month payments).
Currently, I got a surprise phone bill (because I assume that all bills that I get at the end of month, is what I have to pay, this phone bill arrived at the start of September, with payment due soon) and that’s a problem because I can’t afford to pay it as is. The amount is 796 DKK (107€, 107USD). Then I have to buy food for the rest of the month.
I am waiting on extra payments connected to my social welfare. When they start I don’t know, because that is in a system that doesn’t update me on progress and is between Denmark and Iceland social welfare system (this is government stuff). Until this payment start, that are going to bring me to local Danish social welfare income level. I am going to have problems. I am trying to control this best as I can, but sometimes I just don’t manage to do so, since my income is low and that is a problem. I hope one day that I won’t have this problem, but that day is not this month. Sadly.
Thanks for understanding and the support. 🙂
Update 1
Thanks to donations. I can now pay the phone bill and have enough left to buy food for few days.
Sorry about your situation, Jón. Unfortunately I can’t help since i have basically zero income at the moment. Hang in there. It’s a pretty rough time to be poor. I’m living off my meager savings now.
I am sorry to hear that your situation is bad. I hope that you recover from this and that in general the economic situation starts to improve everywhere.
