What if u lost ur job, were sinking in debt, and jobs were hard to find?what would u do?

i have not had a steady job for a couple of yrs now. i used to hold my jobs for a while and then i had a string of jobs that didnt go very well. i quit my last two jobs b/c they offered me little to no hrs. im very discouraged and my bills are mounting up quickly.im slowly losing hope that im gonna ever keep up w/ my bills and i have a hundred or so dollars left in my pocket and then ill be broke. if u were me, what would u do?

I would try even harder to find a job. If that failed I would take a lower job just to get some income even if it was in a different field.
Reply:-----You may qualify for Food Stamps, unemployment compensation, and other forms of help. I feel sure your state has such programs, but not knowing what state you are in, I can not be more specific. Searching on the Internet or in the phone book should help you find it. Calling your state unemployment office should help you; they should be able to tell you where to look in your state. There are people out there who want to help you. ---Jim
Reply:If I were you, I'd get with a temp agency and get some work going and some income coming in. I'd also cut my expenses to bare minimum. Then start job hunting to find a job that suits you. Even if you don't find a dream job right away, get something and don't quit a job unless you have a replacement. For mounting bills, you might contact your creditors and arrange a payment plan. They will be more understanding if you have been unemployed but are recently re-employed.
Reply:Do you have anything to sell on eBay? get selling, buy from cheap car boot sales and sell.
Reply:Have you got insurance on your debt because if you dont you want to be really careful because if you get something like a managed loan because you have mised payments on your loan it is like 50% intrest!
Reply:Sounds like you probably need some sort of employment counseling. Contact your local version of "Dept of Economic Security" and see what they offer. If they're no help, try places like St. Vincent de Paul and see if they have a program for you.


You probably qualify for food from the food bank. You may qualify for subsidized housing for awhile.


You need to take the move to ask for assistance--be it government or private.


Good luck.
