I used to work at a warehouse for 10 years (picking orders and driving a forklift). I also have a useless degree (in marketing, i graduated in 2007 and cant even get interviews).My final paycheck was like $643 and my rent is due on august 1st which is $802, plus i have to figure out a way to pay my car payment and insurance ASAP because they are past due. My car insurance is $140 and my car payment is $265. I was thinking of calling my car loan company and see if they will let me defer payment for at least a month.
I don't have any close friends. I have one person that is kinda a fake friend that lives close but we almost never talk and when we do he doesn't seem to care about me.
My lease on my apartment doesnt end until may 2022. I haven't even told my parents that i lost my job because my dad has been in the hospital for like the past week and he just had open heart surgery. I may need their help though but im scared shitless to tell them because i don't want to add to their stress and im not sure what kinda lecture im going to get from them (my job loss was my fault because i did something stupid but i don't want to provide details on here).
i could probably move back home to Alabama but my dad will probably try to pressure me into taking over a struggling convenience store that he runs. The store is in a small shithole town about 3.5 hours away from where my parents live (I live in georgia, currently) He would drive to this town on Monday every week and stay there and work the whole week then come back home on Saturday and he has done this almost every week for two years. He would probably expect me to do the same thing he has done going back and forth up there all the time and i just don't think i could do it. Plus if i got stuck with the convenience store, I would probably end up living in alabama the rest of my life which i would hate because i hate it there. I had actually been looking into moving away from GA , but not back to alabama, in 1-3 years but i am not sure how that dream is gonna happen now ( i had been thinking of moving to columbus oh, charlotte nc, or texas , maybe houston or dallas). Also my family is pretty overbearing and tries to tell me how to live my life and if i work for my dad, i feel like he would try to have some control over me and my life decisions. I also eventually want to go back to school and change careers and i know he probably wouldn't be ok with that.
What options do i have besides asking my parents to let me move back in? I feel like if i get evicted from my apartment, i may never be able to bounce back and live by myself ever again
