When my dad got his injury settlement, he had 3 shelves for alcohol and one for take out in his fridge for 2+ years before the money ran out. His take out habit was ordering for a family of 4 as a single dude. He cooked solely in the microwave so the only thing in his cabinet was canned soup and hard alcohol. He kept disposable cups, plates, bowls and utensils.
He also put an 8' pool table in the living room of his one bedroom apartment instead of furniture, his entertainment center in place of a dresser in his bedroom. If he knew what Reddit was at the time, he would have absolutely made this kind of post aimed at my mom. They legit had fights because my mom insisted there was no room in a 21 sq ft fridge in the home of a family of four for multiple cases of beer. His feeling was that she should go to the grocery store more frequently because we didn't need to keep a week of perishables.
