Whatever savings she had, I imagine have been spent keeping afloat since Louisa left. Her Patreon is probably at the point where it covers her rent but that’s it (I know, if only we all had a spare £2k a month for free, eh!).
Obviously, I hesitate to speculate too much but someone here shared she was on a very high Council Tax band and they don’t piss about. Two months missed and they want the lot or it’s off to court you go. Incidentally, I think I mentioned this here before, it was Council Tax that became my lightbulb moment and forced me to sort my finances out. When you have to face a magistrates court and pray that you don’t have to find childcare whilst you are in prison and not tell a soul on earth because you are so horribly horribly embarrassed, you tend to wake up a bit and start in on the post pile.
Top off a horribly expensive rent with a high council tax and no recourse to government support and it is easy to see a smallish cushion start to shrink extremely quickly. I know she exaggerated and embellishes and plays with wording so she is not outright lying but this has a whiff of the truth around it. Heartbreak plus massive drop in expendable income = desperate times.
I would like to conclude, however, that my sympathies are limited to SB. She has had six months to consider her options and only a couple of weeks ago was showing off that anti-Tory “art” for £25. That’s her monthly water bill, a weeks “food shopping”, a weeks gas and electric, a months internet etc etc etc.
