pimp out your girlfriend. I'm sure with just AT'ers as clients at 40 bucks a pop you could pay your rent over the weekend.

Kind of late here, but unless you're posting at the library, you have a PC you can sell, and an internet bill you can stop paying.

Get a job at McD's or a restaurant or in retail sales or manual labor. Put up a Craigslist ad for doing odd jobs.

Negotiate with your landlord to pay the rent late (plus interest). Show him all your rejection letters so he knows you've been trying. You start work on the 2nd, so make sure you point that out too. It takes time to rent an apartment, so unless you're in an extremely high demand area, you can probably work out something.

You could take pictures of Spiderman and sell them to the Daily Bugle.

Good luck and keep your chin up!

And ATOT fails me.

:camera:'s of GF?

K... wake up. You do whatever the hell you have to do. I've been there - with 3 kids no less. Seriously, it's the holiday season. If you have a heartbeat, you have about 80-bajillion retailers that will hire you. GO.. NOW.. STOP POSTING AND WHINING. I'm not trying to berate you, I'm just saying find anything until someone picks up your resume and hires you for something better. Some money > no money and not being able to afford to drown your sorrows.

Drop the pride act and suck it up big boy.

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.
Good gawd, get a grip. You can find work to sustain yourself until something better comes along.

You could be worse off.. I have no girlfriend, no job prospects, and am broke. Among other problems. But I'm not wallowing in self-pity, at least not most of the time.
