Financial issues

[Jabberwocky]

Hi guys am currently in a bit of financial strife and don't know how to get started on repairing the problem. More or less my alcohol consumption has escalated and with already having limited funds i've been borrowing to support the habbit even though I don't have a job.

Anyone got any ideas? I know getting a job seems to be the most sensible option but i've been trying to get one for the past month or 2 and with no luck, anyone got any other suggestions?

get a few jobs - Before I took drugs I used to work 74 hours a week, and some weeks I'd be saving $800 (while living at home)... now it's pretty much the reverse, and the only way to keep afloat is to literally grab as many hours as humanly possible.

look into money saving/thrift tips about conserving power/fuel/food etc.... there are a million ways to be frugal if you sit there and think about where every cent is going.

Call some temp services for some day work/ part time stuff. A lot of people get pick up as fulltime employees if they're good workers. Sometimes they only need you for a week or two. it's better than sitting at home. There are always jobs out there that nobody wants, it just depends on what your willing to do to get caught up.

^Exactly.

McDonalds is always hiring. Depressing idea, I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Get creative, be persistent. If you're determined enough you'll find a way. Try to avoid stealing, karma is a bitch.
