<prompt> Human: So this may be a bit of a long one but Im at a loss and would be extremely grateful and appreciative of any kind of advice I can get.When I got laid off I had enough savings to last us for a while while I found another job. I was sure it would only take a month or two, three max. Its now been nearly 9 months and now Im nearly completely broke after paying this last rent and a few bills. I wont be able to cover the rest of the bills nor make credit card payments so Im wondering if theres anything I can do about, anything really. Is it possible to get an extension so I dont start going negative or? I see the cards are charging interest and nearly maxed out so those interest charges are going to put the cards above their limits. Is there a way to prevent that?Our lease is up in November so weve decided, obviously, not to renew as we cant afford this place any longer but we dont have Novembers rent. Weve sorted it out with my mother and can move in with her but the problem is that its very far from the hospital were delivering the baby at. Im not sure of the laws but is it possible to get a months rent waived because of unforseen circumstances such as this or? Im just at a loss and trying to figure this all out. My apologies for how long and ignorant this post may sound. Thank youEdit: Housing issue will be solved by changing my wifes paternity doctor to one near where were moving before the babys born. Already paid up in rent so will move when the lease expires. About the credit cards, Ill call and see if the credit card companies can do anything for me about the maybe delaying payments. Prior to this fall into the valley I always paid them off or nearly off every month. Not sure if that matters at all but I suppose I shall see. Thank you all for the advice!Assistant: Indeed I havent worked in nearly 9 months and am willing and able to do whatever work I can but to cover rent and bills alone comes is usually between 4 and 5k a month. If I could find something that could cover just the basics plus food and necessities, I would take it, but something strange is going on in my industry. I was born and raised here but was overseas for 13 years and have only been back for almost 4 years. There has been a lot to learn since returning and is the reason Im at a loss and slowly understanding the way everything works here.  <response>: Something is wrong if your basics are 4-5k a month. Youre being too picky about jobs. If you cant find something thatll pay all of the bills you need something that will pay some of the bills an adjust your lifestyle accordingly. You could have been working and making some money this whole time, even if it was making minimum wage while you continued to look in your industry.
