So I have been having a really bad time as of late. I am living in a house that is $475.00 a month, and have four bills I have to pay every month. I am sure you all know how that is. I do not have a job right now, and my fiance just quit his! I have no relatives or family here, and I am scared to death. I have filled out several applications for jobs, but I have had no luck yet. Does anyone have any advice?

join a job site and have the offers come to your mailbox, and kick your boyfriend's butt and tell him to get another job quickly or go back crawling to the one he just left.

So sorry to hear of your situation. I think I would really look at rethinking my relationship with the bf. Contact your family and see if you can get some help from them, possibly even move in with them.

What is your fiance doing about not working. It takes both of you. I hope you find some work. I do not know how large your town is. Mean while do look into online earning. It will help even when you do find work to have the little bit extra.

I hope something comes along soon. Try to stay positive and I know it can be difficult. Try looking into nontraditional jobs if finding a traditional becomes too difficult. Keep your head up.

It is a tough situation to be in but the only way to get money is to work. The rent is quite reasonable compared to others here. Just keep trying to find work and the only advice I can give is not to be too fussy about the job you want since a job is a job is a job.

I think the rental in your place is really cheap. Over here, a single bedroom cost more than $600, and that is without air conditioner, and no en-suite toilet. Many house owners pay between $2000 to $4000 in mortgage, and that is not even for a house. it is just for a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment.

don't lose hope. continue to apply for jobs and sooner or later you will find something. you can spend some time working online too but it's not going to provide you will all the money that you need

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Have you tried setting up a job search on a site like Indeed.com ? You'll get daily emails and it pulls in from several different job boards. That's how I found my job. I wish you the best of luck.

I am sorry to hear that. If you do not have relatives or family in your place, if you have them in another place, I think you can call one of them for ask their help. If you can move to the another house that cheaper, it is a good idea too. Don't give up, God with you...Trust me He will help you...

All of us face to situations like this. Can't you find any house cheaper than this. When you spend money you must very carefully, because you haven't a job. Hope you can get a job and settle your payments soon. Good Luck.

Don't give up. Your rent sounds very reasonable. Are there coffee shops, gas stations, convenience stores around. Even a temp job can fill in. Make sure you present yourself as employable.

That's really scary with no one you can turn to. But you might need to talk with your fiance so you can find a temporary solution while both of you don't have a job. You will need to have a game plan.
