<prompt> Human: I was a little careless with my finances the past couple of months too much going out to dinner and bars and such and I have put myself in kind of a bind. I am getting a great new apartment that required security deposit and rent up front as normal, but its really putting a squeeze on my finances and I am not sure I will even have enough for gas till the end of the month. So here is my question:What would be the best way to get some money for short term for living expensesgas, food, etc.? Im thinking a credit card may be an option but I dont have a great score. Let me know of any ideas.Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Im going to try to sell an old snowboard and longboard I have to see if I can scrounge up a couple hundred bucks. It is a cash flow problem right now and will be fixed with my first check after the 1st of the month. Its budget time after that though! Thanks again!  <response>: Sorry, I know this was not your question, but if putting down a deposit on an apartment put you in finical bind then I think your problems might be bigger than being short one month. If you are this tight on money now, and start down the credit card path you can get in deep trouble quickly.
