<prompt> Human: In April I started working for a new company, a retail bank, as a personal banker. Every paycheck would be around 1400. I moved into a one bedroom apartment where the rent was 1300. Since this was less than one paycheck, it seemed great, especially since this is a great and safe area to live in. I was promised quarterly bonuses of 8000. While I didnt factor those in, I was looking forward to something in that area. I was saving 100 a week, and things were going great. I also have a monthly expense of 240 to pay for a medical procedure I got done this year. Ill be paying that off for quite some time. Plus there are utility bills, which come out to around 150month. Fast forward to today, turns out most of my pay was due to overtime. They hired extra help, and everyone got 40 hours flat. Now my paychecks are in the 900 range. My quarterly bonuses, try as I might, are in the 200 range. Not to mention I owe my sister 1100. She lent it to me at a repayment rate of 100week so that I could pay off my roommates security deposit. I had to kick my roomate out for threatening to rape my girlfriend. All month Ive been using my credit card for everything I do, because rent money comes first and I couldnt take from that. I now owe about 700 on the card. I am planning to take the credit loss and repay the minimal amount every month until that cc debt is paid off. Ultimately it seems like I bit off more than I can chew. My boss told me that this was a good idea because if I am hungry I will be more motivated to make more money. While at the same time cutting my overtime. What can I do? Please help me. How can I make more money? Are there cool side jobs that you guys know of? Any ways to make some extra money? Or save money? I dont spend money on myself, all month Ive been in an empty apartment because I cant even afford to buy cheap furniture.  <response>: You cant afford that apartment... you have to move out.
