Considering I am unemployed at the moment and making do with a 5 year old phone, that's not an option.
Oof, that got real, and I'm sorry to hear. @self@awful.systems help keep this guy in the jank?
Heh, it's not as bad as it maybe sounds. We're set financially for the time being but I'd rather not make any large purchases that aren't strictly needed.
Fair!
That said, don't be a strange to family and friends about this kind of thing though. I've been surprised to find out people I knew were hiding their unemployment from me for months, which is totally fine and understandable -- they don't owe me anything -- but sometimes, faith in that people want to help each other with meaningful things when times are hard is one of those things worth testing.
Thanks! I've been open with it with family and friends and on social media.
