<prompt> Human: I ran out of money until my next paycheck next week because of unexpected expenses. I estimate Ill need to borrow or get 200 dollars from somewhere. Ive been considering payday loans, but Im wondering what my best options are? And, my next paycheck will more than cover the 200 I borrow so Im not worried I wont be able to pay back a loan.Assistant: The question is really what is the 200 for? Is it rent? Approach the landlord and explain the situation and how you want to avoid a pay day loan. Is it food? Whats in your house now? rEatCheapAndHealthy can get you by a couple weeks on like 30. Is it gastransportation? Can you hitch a ride or ride a bike for a week? Human: Food and gas. I dont have time to cook because I work full-time and I go to school so I have to eat out. My job requires me to drive so gas is mandatory. Actually what I do right now is the cheapest I can do. I usually just go to Chipotle and order a side of chicken and beans. Comes out to 3-4 dollars. You can also ask for extra beans and they double or triple the scoop for no extra charge.  <response>: For the last FIVE YEARS Ive worked full time and gone to school at nights. Ill finally have my masters degree in December!!Theres an element of time management you need to master. Eating is out is easier and usually quicker. I get it. But you need to drop this habit... too expensive and probably unhealthy. Get yourself a slow cooker and a rice cooker. Make food sunday afternoons while the NFL is on. Keep a loaf of bread and PB on hand. You need to put this in perspective... You ran out of money. I would consider that an EMERGENCY. You need to make some serious changes before things get further out of hand.
