<prompt> Human: Hey guys. Ill try and explain everything as best as I can but I apologize if I jump around a lot, a lot has happened in the last week. If Im not clear about anything just let me know.My boyfriend and I just moved into an apartment together on October 31st. We moved about a half hour from where we originally lived so he was forced to leave his previous job because we share a car so commuting wasnt realistic. He got a 9hr job before we actually made the move, just to clarify but that wasnt cutting it and I was also not making enough money at my job to live comfortably we are both servers btw. So I went ahead and got a new job about a month ago in addition to the job I wasnt making enough money at and was able to get him a job there as well. We were doing very well there financially but my boyfriend was abruptly fired more on that later and since he hasnt worked there long theres not anything we can do about it. So now Im the only one working until he can find something else and Im panicking about being able to pay the bills essentially on my own until then.These are our monthly bills Im rounding the amounts up:- Rent - 885- Electric - 40-50- Gas heat - 40-50- Insurance - 239- Internet - 70This comes to a total amount of about 1300. Not to mention the cost of groceries, gas for the car, etc. Given that I am a server and therefore my income can vary its hard to give an exact amount I earn per month but if the volume of business at the restaurant continues as it has I should continue to make between 1800-2000 per month. This is where the situation gets kind of messy and may seem off topic but I promise its relevant. Bare with me. I recently had my car vandalized and both my mirrors were stolen. This set me back 200. This incident occurred in the parking lot of my apartment complex and happened over the course of 3 nights. What I mean is one mirror was stolen one night and two nights later my second mirror was stolen. When I spoke to my apartment complex about it they more or less told me it wasnt their problem and to park somewhere else we dont have assigned parking spaces. The past few nights several of my neighbors have also had their cars broken into and ransacked overnight. This leads me to believe that when I get my mirrors put on there is a very real possibility that they could get stolen again and I cant risk that happening for obvious reasons. Since the apartment complex made it clear they werent going to do anything about it and the police werent able to help me either I felt like I had no choice but to purchase a camera to protect my property. A front and back camera for my car was about 400. The reason my boyfriend lost his job was also because of this whole thing. Basically the day our second mirror was taken he called work immediately and told them he would not be able to come in the NEXT day it was his day off when the mirror was stolen because we needed to handle the situation ASAP and we couldnt drive the car without mirrors. They told him to do the best he could to get his shifts covered but because he didnt call them the next day as well they terminated him for a no call no show.The reason I explained all that is because the mirrors and camera were all charged to one of my credit cards. I have 3. One has a balance of 315 and 19.99 APR. Another has a balance of 157 and 25.99 APR. The credit card I used for the mirrorscamera now has an outstanding balance of over 600. The only upside is that I do not have to pay APR on this particular card until June. My boyfriend always helps me pay off my balances because I make purchases for the both of us on these cards but now he cant. So now I need to pay these off on my own in the meantime on top of the monthly expenses. I only have about 400 left in my savings account because of the move and my boyfriend drained his savings entirely. I just dont know if I can afford this all on my own. I know hes going to get another job but that could take weeks and hell have to go through the training process before he starts bringing home any money. Neither of us have ever lived on our own before so weve never been in this situation. Im afraid to talk to my landlord about it because we are new tenants. I explored the idea of taking out a personal loan just to be safe but Im not sure if thats the best course of action and regardless I dont have the credit to get pre-approved. I really dont know what to do. Has anyone else been in this situation before who can tell me what my options are? Should I definitely go to my landlord about this? Im sorry if Im not asking the right questions or if Im asking anything that has an obvious answer. Again this is my first time living on my own and paying real bills and I dont know how to approach this at all.Thanks so much to those who read this whole mess and can offer advice. I know the post was somewhat scatterbrained. If any clarification is needed please let me know.Assistant: Okay, first off there are 24 hours in a day. If he sleeps 8 that leaves 16 hours a day. Almost all areas have work-today get-paid-today places for crappy manual labor that most people dislike. He needs to be doing those for whatever he can. He needs to spend the time not there, applying for more work. Lastly, you both need to look at plasma donation centers that pay. Also food banks to help get you through this. The burden should not and is not completely on you. He can help bring up the difference as well:Human: Thanks so much. Ive honestly never heard of places where you can work one-time manual labor jobs and get paid but well definitely be looking into that. Also I didnt mean to imply that hes not going to help me at all, sorry for giving off that impression. He did have some money leftover from his last shift that he intended to use as spending money but has given to me, but its only about 200. We literally just paid our rent for the month of December just a few days ago so thats why there wasnt more for him to give me.  <response>: Hell - Look on Craigslist. I constantly see people offering 50-100 to help carry boxes for a move.
