20 days now

Totally forgot I made this topic guys. Sorry. In 20 days all my bills will be due (or way past due) and Ill have nothing to do or anywhere to go.

So in 20 days I have to find enough money to pay rent, utilities, make a payment on my car, pay my phone bill, and pay off some credit card debt. Plus I assume Ill still need food so that too.

Ive currently got $32.81 in my bank account, and two job interviews (but not for anything in my field). So you know. Well see what happens.

Oh and just a few days after that, my applications to grad school start being due, and some of them have application fees I need to pay.

Where were you working before? And you probably should have still been working there. At least enough to pay bills. And if you really worried, you could always take out a personal loan to pay everything for a few months. A lot of banks have personal loans for debt consolidation. You could either do a debt consolidation for the credit cards on their own. And use the credit cards for all bills and everything. Or get a loan thats big enough to pay for all you bills for 1-3 months. Which would give you time to find employment...

Before this I was a student and I had enough grants and scholarships (and a couple student loans) to pay for stuff. The last five months Ive tried to look for a post-graduation job but didnt find anything so now Im just looking for ANY job.

Yeah. Thats what I would do. Tbh, I wouldveprobably Looked for any job earlier. And looked for Post Graduation jobs in my field in my free time. Since you couldve saved up money for after graduation, and would have still been making some income. Though, that time has passed. But finding a job that can help just pay the bills until you can find a job in your field shouldnt be too hard. You just cant be too picky. And the personal bank loan can help if you really have i other option. Good Luck!

Step one should be to contact all these creditors before you miss any payments so you can explain your situation to them and try to work something out. Next, find out where you local food pantry is, since with your timeline it sounds like you'll definitely need to make use of them. Even if you miraculously got hired somewhere and actually started working this week, you probably wouldn't even get your first paycheck for a couple weeks.

Also, does your roommate know your situation? He may have to help pay a bigger portion of the utilities to help keep them on while youre waiting for money, depending on how everything works out...
