Wow, Southside. Sounds rough. Good luck and best wishes.
I bought an old 11 degree Wishon driver off the B/S/T/ at fgi and gamed it all year. Next best purchase was an old Callaway Steelhead plus 3 wood that I picked up for 5 bucks at a garage sale. The thing ROCKS. Third best purchase was the set of TM rac irons I told y'all about in an earlier thread; this set was from an estate sale. $45 for the 4-PW.
Good year for equipment purchases for me, although nothing I bought is remotely "new" stuff.
