A man has revealed that he has been forced to shoplift because he can't afford groceries, despite working overtime (stock image).
'I first shoplifted because even after shopping around for items on sale and saving as much as I could, I still didn't have enough food to last until my next grocery trip,' he shared.
But Paul estimated that his monthly expenses come to $3,100 - a little more than he brings homes - between his medical bills, student loans, and basic necessities.
