Answer 1

In most states, when a judge gives probation, he first fixes the sentence for the crime and then suspends execution of that sentence upon certain conditions.  Failure to meet those conditions results in imposition of the original sentence.  However, inability to comply is not a violation.  Only willful failure is a violation.  that being said, your ability to comply is determined by the judge, not by you.  If you could have complied by living under a bridge and eating out of dumpsters, and you chose your own comfort over meeting the conditions, then you will be found to have violated the conditions under which you could have avoided serving the original sentence.

Answer 2

Borrow the 98 dollars from a parent, friend, aunt or uncle.      If no one has the total amount then borrow a little from everyone. $10 from this person, $15 from this person, etc... it will add up to what you need.  How about having a "yard sale" on a weekend. Dig out somethings that you can live without and sell them. In the end you will have the money and you won't have to worry about jail time or getting boosted up to a felony. After your final 19 days are up, get another job and slowly pay everyone back one at a time.

I realize this doesn't really answer your question but it is the best I can do. I wish you the best of luck.
