how do you make ends meet?

OMG, you do not understand the kind of person that I am at all.

Of course not. I've known you for a few days and only through posts on the internet. We all make some guesses and assumptions on here.

So I have already "looked into it" and there is no possible world that could exist in which I would not have done so.

That really doesn't make much sense. But if you've looked into it, all you needed to do was say, "Thanks, I've looked into those things."
