So I finally find a great gf....and I go broke. I?m out of money. The stock market plunged and took everything I had with it. My job applications aren?t getting answered. I have an interview at a temp agency on Monday, and a temp job that pays 11/hr that starts December 2. That?s way too late. I?m out of money now and the rent is due in 6 days. I told Wendy I had heard back from some permanent jobs, but I just didn?t have the heart to tell her that I heard back from none of the 50+ places I?ve applied to, she?s just too sweet.

I have no one to ask for money, and I think I?d rather die than do that. I don?t even have enough money to buy a gun to shoot myself like a man is supposed to, or if I had a gun I couldn?t afford bullets. I?m not depressed, I?m just flat broke.

I don?t blame anyone else for these problems. My investments went bad, my career wouldn?t get off the ground, and my job applications don?t get answered anymore. If I?m 27 and this shit is happening, let?s be honest, there?s no bright future for me. I have that application into BC?s PhD program, but I have no money to actually make it to next September even if I get in. I have nothing of value to sell (car isn't worth anything), and honestly, even if I did scrape together enough, what then? I?d have 0 dollars saved and even an oil change would send me broke. I have too much pride to live out of my car or in a homeless shelter, I?d rather die.

Pray? Ask friend and family for help? Be honest with your SO?

Go get a job a McDonalds while looking for something better?

Wash cars and cut grass? Deliver papers?

Shit man there's always other options, it's just what you're willing to do or not do.

Suck it up and do something.

well yeah, in retrospect that'd work, but it's too late now. I'm waaay short on rent, I'd need like 3 weeks at TWO of those jobs to get one month's rent.

OP I'm with you. Something goes right, and something else doesn't. I'm not in the same spot you are, but am closely approaching it....

Can't pay rent? Move out, get 2 or 3 part time shit jobs, live in an efficiency for $150 a week. Keep looking for a better job.

He has to prove he lost all his money willingly because of being stupid and irresponsible. Once he proves that, then the government will consider providing him bailout money.

Well I'm the exact opposite..

I have a great job and my career has never been better. I finally have my budget to a point where I can definitely say I am netting significantly more than I'm spending. I bought an awesome house (a foreclosure) at an awesome price - and I found roommates to move in so I don't have to live alone.

But now, I couldn't find a girlfriend for the life of me.. And, I've never had a problem with women before. All I can do is laugh.

moral of the story, don't gamble. And everybody needs to stop calling them investments.

btw, plenty of part-time jobs will take you.
