<prompt> Human: I wanted some advice on how to put myself in the best possible position to be financially stable. Im homeless right now, living out of my car. I have been homeless for almost a year. I do have a full time job as a security guard. I make 600 - 800 dollars every other week, depending on if overtime is offered. I also donate plasma on a regular basis, making 300 a month. I have 1200 dollars in savings, but I will have to make repairs on my car in the near future, in order to pass inpection. I estimate that the repairs and inspection and registration will cost about 500. I spend 30 a month on the gym, 50 per month on my phone, 75 per month on car insurance. I dont track my spending on food, but I rarely eat fast food. I usually eat canned goods and food that i can keep in the car, like oats, rice, etc. I think I spend around 200 dollars per month on food. I used to live with my father, I only had to pay him 300 per month, but he started stealing from me so I decided to leave his house. Because I cut ties with my dad the rest of my family wont speak to me. I dont have any friends to turn to.. Ive been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and those disorders have turned me into a recluse. I believe Im truly on my own with this issue.I have 50k in student loan debt, but I dont have to make payments on that yet. And I am in the process of setting up a income based payment plan. My car is paid off, but it is a 99 Toyota and I have spent over 2000 dollars this past year on repairs. So it isnt very reliable. Also, have have bad credit. I was once evicted from an apartment because I could not pay the rent.My plan is to continue living out of my car and save money. Then I will rent a room in november, before winter. I think I have adequately fleshed out my current financial situation, but let me know if you want any more information.  <response>: Hello, I am going to assume that your degree is a Bachelors of Science, right?

But something you have is a degree. Hear me out. Maybe you could also look at jobs where a degree is required doesnt matter in what, per se and apply to jobs at local colleges or hospitals, and have someone who knows what they are doing go over your resume. You may have to apply to a lot of places, but that is to be expected now. You can do it.Someone recommended the military you do exercise, and it could be a way to make sure youve got resources, as well as preference for applying to government jobs.
