<prompt> Human: okay so here is my situation. Im 19 male and live in Canada, Ive recently left my abusive family home a few months ago and was able to find a decent apartment for myself that at the time I was able to afford. Fast forward to now, the company I worked for fired me for what I believe to be unfair reasons, Im a grand in debt with my credit card, my car insurance comes out soon on my credit card along with my cell phone and I also owe rent for this month which is 700. Which comes to a total of about 2 grand. Ive recently started a new job but havent gotten paid yet and am not sure when I will since Ive been told various different dates as to when pay day is. I also dont know how much I will get, so Im not sure if I will be able to pay all of my bills for the month. Im trying to learn website design to hopefully have a job in that one day but until that Im stuck. I dont really have any close friends that I could stay with or would feel comfortable asking for money until I get back on my feet. I was really hoping that one of you would have some words of wisdom that could help me.  <response>: Short term plan: every cent matters.Deactivate your cell phone. You dont need it. Get a prepaid gas station phone if necessaryTurn off your AC, lights, etc. Every photon and joule youre paying for.Go to the store and buy a bag of rice, bags of beans, and generic multivitamin. Protein, carbs, and micros. You do not need to eat anything else for the next month.Have a TV? Sell it on Craigslist this afternoon.Laptops, desktops, tablets? Thats a few hundred dollars cash.Itll be rough for the next few weeks, but you dont need any luxuries to keep a roof over your head, and the impact to your credit score for missing payments on rent or your cards...or driving without insurance isnt worth all the stuff you have but dont need.
