I know there’s probably a lot of posts like this, but, y’know. As a person who’s poor, my outlook on the future is… grim, to say the least. I want to know what to do and how to survive without panicking and falling into the mass-buying fearmongering, especially when I don’t have the expendable money to drop to just “stock up” on stuff before the tariffs get bad.
Any and all advice related to living a good, sustainable life with little money is very, sincerely appreciated. I’m young and very scared.

Well if you’re close to the border you can just jump over and then go buy yourself clothes at a reduced rate. The Canadian border I mean. I wouldn’t panic just continue doing what you’re doing and hopefully you’re just buying what you need and that’s a stupid splurgy stuff like today I went to a Hot spring resort and bought myself a night this was before I realized that we were going to be in dire straits and I could have used that 30 bucks. But you know what you got to have a little joy in life what’s the point of living if you’re just working for a oligarch family or an oligarch dictator CEO.
Exploit your connections.
For instance I notice on Reddit you don’t bother to respond to your posts, even hyperlocal ones from people taking time to reply to you.
I get you might be in survival mode, but never underestimate the power of basic etiquette in forming connections, and connections are what will save your bacon.
