<prompt> Human: I had to take some time off work as I was sick and couldnt go to work. As a result, my last paycheck was small, something that is very difficult when living paycheck-to-paycheck. I have already applied for a loan but was told its not likely to be approved. I am going to check with my landlord and see if I can pay a few days late, after my next paycheck. If these both fall through, what other options do I have?  <response>: I had to pawn my MacBook Pro to make rent one time. A local pawn shop had a very lenient if picked up within 3 months you pay nothing policy so I took advantage of it. Took me 4 months to get the money but only cost me about 25 to get it back. Im sure this isnt ideal but for me it was a better option than selling it completely. Ive never had family to fall back on to help me out in times like that so it definitely saved my ass, even though it was kind of risky.
