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

    It's not a last resort thing. It will make your life easier. You are allowed and should not feel ashamed to use that resource. You are exactly who it was meant for, you are able to work and have alternative plans but need temporary help. There is no shame in needing extra resources, this is a fucked up system that doesnt give enough to people who need it.
