So, after counting up my dwinding bank account due to a series of unexpected expenditures, I have barely enough to get by on rent and utilities and so on. I also need to shore up just a few hundo (maybe $200 and change) in the next 30 days or less. Just for food and general existence. Work will probably not grant me enough overtime to get that and I can't really put it off until next month's payday anyhow, so I'm thinking about the dreaded Second Job option. I have the pathfinding skills of an army officer so delivery gig work is out. Beyond looking for more fixed labor such as part-time work at shops on weekends/evenings I'm kind of out of ideas (and I'd be in much the same boat as simply working overtime at my current job and with less hassle).

Any ideas appreciated

    I'd say doordash/uber/instacart/etc as I think $200 is probably attainable in 30 days - provided you don't live in an area where such apps/services are essentially non-existent. But then again, with gas prices being so high you might wind up putting more $$ into your tank than you make... :dem:

      Yep it's why it's not gonna work out, I live in a fairly big city, but I don't know my way around for shit and my own transport is a joke; I don't even have a bike.
