I’m honestly terrified right now.... my partner lost their job today, and was the only source of income for our household up until that point. We were barely scraping by while I was looking for a job and now we’re completely shit out of luck until one or both of us find another job.
Move been out of the workforce since highschool and only ever held summer jobs. I don’t really remember how to get a job? And it feels like such an insurmountable obstacle in the age of the pandemic. I’ve applied to anything and everything I come across with no word back as of yet (I’ve been applying to things since June 2020, but been much more vigilant about it this past week).
Currently need the following monthly.
$755 Rent
$175 Utilities
$250 Groceries
$228 my health insurance premium
And that’s just to have a place to live/food to eat/necessary medication and visits covered. Not to mention keeping my cats.
I want to work full time somewhere but have no clue what minimum pay ($x/hour) I would need to survive. Partner was making about 13.50/hr when they lost full time job, so I would assume at least that much? But I have half the skills and experience they do and again, haven’t been working since highschool. I fear no one job would hire me for that much even at full time. And if I get 2 jobs part time how much would I need to make if I’m working 20-30 hours a week at each?
I really need some advice, a paycheck and any help in the meantime that people are able to give.
Paypal is [email protected] if you’re able to send anything to help I would be extremely grateful. I’m so scared and stressed right now I’ve been getting physically sick over it but I know I have to keep pushing to find something, anything with a living wage ASAP
Planning to live here through this lease and then move somewhere cheaper if at all possible.
