<prompt> Human: Im 28 years old and working minimum wage. My mother died in 2003. My father died in 2008, and left nothing. He worked for the UN, so I lived fairly comfortably until then, and never had a job till his death. Now Im working minimum wage, and I constantly find myself coming up against big bills in terms of rent, electricity, phone. I always have something hanging over me, so Im living from payment crisis to payment crisis. This is also having a bad effect on my finances, because not having enough money to buy groceries in advance is leading to me borrowing money from my boss and buying lunch. Depression is both a cause and effect in this case, and I simply cant get out of the hole until Im out of the hole.I feel like Im drowning and Im now at the point that my last paycheck was 200 instead of the 900 I usually get every two weeks because I had already taken out an advance.I feel like I just need to get a little ahead of the costs and everything will begin to fall into place. Ive had periods of being able to get ahead for a couple of months, and suddenly being able to bring lunch to work huge expense, and found myself saving a little. But then some big bill comes to slam me back.I have three big bills hanging over me at the moment, all of which have come up at the same time: 1600 in back rent, 750 in cellphone overage I fucked up when the Canadian rules changed on that, 350 in power.What do I do?  <response>: Get a second job or find a better paying job.You were 22 in 2008 - did you go to school? Why didnt you work back then?
