<prompt> Human: This sub has taught me a lot... and thanks to this sub I have been able to tackle my current challenging financial situation with ease so far thanks to having significant emergency savings. But its running low...Long story short I saved about 25 of my my yearly income, or roughly 3 months of income. Unfortunately I lost my job a month ago. I found a temp job that will pay less but will get me by for now, and I have a highly likely new job about a month in the pipeline that will pay the same as my old one. Ive been living on savings for about a month now, but my emergency fund is about halfway depleted in just a month despite this. This is mostly caused by major car problems that happened just days ago, long story short im out 1200 just to get it fixed. I will say that my temporary job will be able to sustain me with a loss of about 10 of my savings a month. By my current calculation my emergency fund will be empty in about 3-4 months unless something changes. If I do manage to get the other job I am looking at I will be back to normal, but my biggest worry is if that doesnt happen. I need a back up plan and unfortunately the only backup I have if that opportunity falls through is my credit cards, which can get me through another 3 months at best. Any idea where I should go from here?  <response>: Dont count on the job. Apply for many more.
