This article captures how you spend extra energy when you don't have any money. Everything that you do becomes more difficult, takes more energy. You walk because you can't afford the bus. You can't top up your phone card, so you can't communicate with people in order to get more money. You don't have a printer to print job applications or loan forms. You don't have an internet connection so you can find more work. Your computer isn't working and you can't afford a new one, so you have to use your friends' computers. You are constantly behind on your payments, so you can never save up money and create a safety buffer.
