<prompt> Human: This has never, never before happened in my life. Ill try to stick to the relevant details. I was divorced earlier this year, and took a job at 83,5 with full benefits. I hated it from the second I started my background is in 1099 medical sales but I did everything that was asked of me and with a smile on my face. I get 1400month in child support.Fired without notice today. I live in GA.My brothers fiancee recently committed suicide. I took him in and he started a job last week making 400 week gross. His friend good for his ptsd for her to be here had an interview today and will hopefully be making 28kyear. I dont expect to see any money from them. I have two kids, 5 and 7, the 7 year old is in a very small private school 7kyear due to behavioral issues and my son is in VPK free and 88week for before and after care.Mortgage is 1700, car payment is 400 plus random other expenses and utilities. I need help PF. Im on a shoestring budget as it is-rarely spend money on extras but need ideas very, very quickly. I have an IRA with about 45k left after the divorce I can draw from but dont want to. And enough in savings for one month.Assistant: First thing, file for unemployment to aid with your cashflow needs.Second, itemize out your expenses and remove any expenses that are not critical e.g. need. Then try and reduce each expense.If you have an emergency fund, calculate how long you can live with your emergency fund and use that as your timeline to find a new job. Good luck and remember to focus on finding a new job.Human: Thank you so much. Job is 1. I have never ever ever been unemployed and Im a skilled corporate executive. Its so humiliating  <response>: Its so humiliating.. Been there and felt the same. First and last time. But it taught me to not associate my identity with my job. I am me. When I go do a job, its a job. It doesnt define completely who I am. That said, such things will never be permanent. You just pull yourself up and do what you got to do. File for unemployment, brush up resume, call friends, update linked in profile, ask for references from old colleagues, search on dice.com, monster.com, linkedin.com, craigslist.com, etc. In the worst case scenario, try driving as a Uber driver when you have some free time.
