> As of tomorrow, I will have $130.00 to my name. Literally. I am staying with a friend, who is good enough to not kick me out. My auto insurance, phone and storage facility are current as of tomorrow. My current monthly bills total about $220.00, excluding food (I usually just eat oatmeal.) My depression, anxiety and the current job market have left me with nothing but temp work for the last two years and I haven’t even had any of that since the end of November. I am at the end of my rope. I will be penniless in about two weeks if nothing comes up job-wise. There is nothing else I can cut back on. Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. I can’t believe that this is my life.

Hazel,

Hello. How are you doing now?

Unfortunately I am almost in the same boat.

Write back when free.

She’s still posting here and now that you mention it, I’m hopeful to hear that she’s doing better. Hazle?
