I was going to post a whole long story of my situation but there's not much point. I'm out of work and looking for a job. I have $289 to my name, and I need $200 on top of that before the 17th. Even if I get a job tomorrow I'm not likely to get a paycheck for that much by then.
I live in a city and have a car which meets the requirements for ridesharing, but it's filthy inside and out. It's also very cold here so cleaning it up myself is not an immediate option and I don't have the materials to do a decent job anyway. Hesitant to drop the cash to have it done professionally as there is very little cash to be had.
My parents are somewhat well-off but I've already hit them up for a big chunk of money, which has gone to past bills. Plus I'm 30 years old so I'm not exactly keen to ask for more. I have no debt and good credit, but don't really know how to use that to my advantage.
As for skills I'm a stagehand and carpenter. Been freelancing for a while but it is obviously not cutting it and work is scarce lately. I have two liberal arts degrees that have done me very little good in eight years. I'm also a moderately good guitarist who occasionally gets paid to play small bars, but I have nothing lined up on that front until February. I'm healthy and pretty strong.
Has anyone managed to pull out of a tailspin like this? If so, how? Also looking for any LEGAL side-hustle ideas, related to my skills or not, that can put cash in my hand quick.
Tl;dr I have $289. Need $200 more by the 17th. No job but really trying. Please help me figure this out.
