Hey everyone. Sorry if this doesn't fit this sub, I'm just panicked and not sure where else to turn to right. Mods, please remove if this isn't the place to ask.
Basically, I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'm going to law school, and I've basically been funding myself through my financial aid, which is a bit low, and whatever savings I had. I ended up turning 26 and got kicked off my parent's insurance, and I have chronic migraines that really took a turn for the worst this year. It ended up costing me a lot of money unfortunately. I'm basically entirely broke, and my rent's due soon.
I actually just got hired somewhere, but I won't see the paycheck for another month. I've barely even started the actual work. My school doesn't have emergency funds either, and don't really have family or friends I can turn to to borrow anything. I'm really scared. I live alone. My rents only about $1000 a month, fortunately, but I'm across the country from anyone I could even reasonably stay with. I've looked into rent assistance (i dont appear to be their target client) and try to ask anyone I thought may be a possibility but thus far, nothing seems to have come up. I've considered some drastic things... embarrassing things. I'm scared. Law school has been my dream. I don't want to have to give it up. I should have planned better and had a nest egg. I was living in the California Bay area before though so I was barely making it paycheck to paycheck.
Does anyone have any advice for managing this kind of situation? Or if anyone has been in this situation, idk. I've never felt like such a POS. Thanks for reading.
