Sleep disturbances

Had an interesting night with roommate waking me up 3 times. 1st time he asked if I was in his room taking his things. Besides dirty dishes and garbage, no. I live here, I have plenty of my own things that I don't need to steal his. He is missing a red can with 2 lids. I have no idea what he is talking about. 2nd time he woke me up after tearing his room apart was to ask to view my outdoor camera footage cause he thinks his ex is sneaking into the house. He has a habit of leaving the door unlocked (and I know cause I keep locking it). When he kicked her out, she stole some of his things. I hand him my phone and he adds his phone to the app to view the footage from his phone. I ask what was in the can that was so important. Speed and weed. 3rd time he wake me up around 2 AM to remind me he works in the morning at 8 AM. I have to be at work at 8 AM. So I had to reset my alarm clock. He needs me to wake him up so he can get ready on time. He can't be late or he can get fired. Soon after he sleeps on the couch getting a few hours of sleep. He wakes up 5 minutes before me. We eat breakfast and I go brush my teeth. He announced he ain't working no 12 hour shift with 3 hours of sleep, but thanks me for getting up to take him to work. Actually he doesn't work unti 10 AM, he just wanted to hang aroud the mall. Mall doesn't open until 10 AM so what could he do for 2 hours. But now his coworker he just called will drive him to work and he goes to sleep on the couch. I have time to take my cat Bilbo outside in the cool air before work.

My lectures from roommate are getting interesting. One day I try to explain why I prefer he didn't rip up platic pop bottles or tear labels off cause in this state, we return them for cash. Stores won't take them back without a UPC code or damaged. When we buy the bottles or cans, we pay 5 cents per bottle/can and when return them, we get our money back. He replied, So What you lost a nickel, it's not a big deal. I am broke and need every nickel I can get. Then another day he tells me I spend too much money. I reply that I can stop buying groceries. He says I should get a debit card. I don't want one cause I had friends get their cards cloned and bank accounts emptied. I can't afford that. He suggested putting my paychecks on Cash App and stop using my credit cards. H**l to the no. Website apps can be hacked. I will keep my money in a bank account where my deposits are insured. My Paypal got hacked and credit card used so forgive me if I don't invest much in internet wallets. Then he suggested investing in Bitcoin or stocks through Cash App. F**K no. I am not investing my hard earned money in risky and unpredicatable cryptocurrency that criminals love using. I held back asking why didn't take his Bitcoin and stock investments to pay off his storage unit that is getting auctioned off. I have been depleting my IRAs to survive. I have prepared taxes for people. I know all about investing. I don't have the money. And he hates it when I ignore his advise. Cause it is naive and bad advise.
