I can't pay rent this month.

My checking account is overdrawn.

 I have several parking tickets I can't pay.

I just paid for a Dr's appointment with a credit card with less than $30 of available credit left.

I still need to register my car. 

I wonder if I should have used my severance in a different way. I had three weeks of severance that I stretched into 6 weeks because I didn't pay for the big things. Now that it's run out, the big things are still left. I suppose I was counting on either getting a new job or my unemployment insurance to kick in. I knew acquiring a new job was going to be an unreliable factor, but I was suprised to find out that after two months of calls into the unemployment office and several emails, I finally got a response informing me that my claim for unemployment insurance is still pending. Pending? Why? Of course I can't ask "Why?" because it would take another month to get an answer.

The good news is that I applied for a part time tutoring position, which I think I would enjoy. They are bringing me in for the first day of training next week. And the second day of training the following week. Both days are unpaid. So I'm still going to be in the weeds until they actually schedule students for me. That's a whole month.

If anyone has any suggestions (other than prostitution, drug dealing, theft and murder) for living on the brink, I'd really appreciate it. I feel like my entire life has been a matter of being so close to this point and now that I'm here I still don't know what to do.
