Hi all, I'll try to keep this quick.

Effectively, my live in boyfriend has lost has job (three weeks ago). We have recently moved into our first home together, and were previously well over budget money wise. However, as he has lost his job, and was previously the higher paid of the two of us, we now have a bit of a situation: my wages cover rent and electric, and that's it. I have no money for food, water, not to mention petrol and etc for my commute. I have a small amount of savings that will last about a month, and having made a very strict budget this alone is stretching it. I just don't know where to go from here.

My boyfriend has been looking for work every day since his previous job, but nowhere seems to be interested at all. He is very qualified and has an excellent CV, so it's really unfortunate that nothing is picking up. We've also applied (we're UK based) to the jobseekers and council benefits system, but have yet to hear anything - I suspect we will receive very little help in this respect as my earnings are ever so slightly too high.

Tldr: My wages cover rent and electric. We can't afford to live. What can we do?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm getting desperate and I can't find any usable advice anywhere.

Thank you all for reading this mess of a post.
