So, I'm in the process of moving back into my mother's house, as my father is planning to get rid of his house and spend his retirement traveling around the country in a small RV he just bought. Luckily, she lives right across the street from where I work, so it's actually not a bad situation.

The problem? SHE HAS NO INTERNET.

Now, internet where she lives is usually around $80 month. Pretty steep, esecially when I need to give her around $400 a month - or $100 a week, for rent and other bills.

So, now I'm down to having no internet, unless you count my 5 gb phone data plan, which I am blowing through at a rather alarming rate.

Ugh. This sucks.

@sirlionelnigelconrad: That is some backward ass thinking, just saying.

@sirlionelnigelconrad: I don't feel like getting banned, so gonna leave this "conversation" here.
@mellonin: Hope you're able to figure something out. ^^

The internet has pretty much become my life. If I don't have it I get really antsy.

Awww that sucks. I hate not having an internet access for at least a day. Internet is life and it's already a big part of most of our lives.

@SirLionelNigelConrad: Dude, I have no car. I have no car because I can't afford one. I work at the only store in my tiny town, which has less than 2,000 people living in it. I work maximum hours at that store. But I still don't make enough for the cheapest internet from the only company that serves my area. To afford internet, I would have to either not pay my electric bill, or I only pay part of my rent. Both of these are not solutions that will actually work.

Not everybody has the same ability as you do, to earn more money. The resources that are available to me are not the same as the ones that are available to you. So please, don't make it out to be like I'm lazy, or not willing to do the work. I am. I am working my a$$ off right now. But it still isn't enough.

So thanks for making me feel like a complete loser who can't succeed at life like you can. Really helping the situation. (That was sarcasm, in case you didn't catch it.)

@Mellonin: You aren't a loser. You are doing what you can. Some people just seem to think life requires simple answers to solve everything. Because you know...we are all driving fancy cars and living in mansions apparently lol.
<3 Appreciate your post and keep working hard ^^

You may want to check into mobile hotspots you can buy, too! A lil thing you can plug into your computer and you get wifi. You can pay a certain amount for a certain amount of data... Wouldn't do it for things like gaming, but it takes quite a LONG damned time to get through the data on avatar websites. Just remember to turn it off before going to sleep, you'd waste money. I used to have one for Virgin Mobile, was good when I was a student and needed to go random places while bringing laptop for schoolwork.

@Mellonin:

I've been there.
Several years ago, my mom quit our internet service for a while due to high costs I believe it was--or was it unsatisfactory performance?
I digress.

This left me having to use the city library for internet access for at least a month and at this city library depending on the computer you use, one cardholder gets 30-90 minutes of usage a day.

It was difficult.

It's scary how much the human race depends on electronics in this age. including those who grew up before technology took over like me.
I've had power trouble in this house and it never ceases to astonish and shame me how frustrated I can feel without internet access.

Are you not able to get internet for the house?
Is your city library not close?
