<prompt> Human: I just moved an hour away from my hometown in Indiana with my girlfriend two weeks ago. We both started new jobs last week. Shes a hostess at making minimum wage relying mainly on tips and I got an alright job paying 12 an hour but the hours arent what I hoped they would be. 25-40 a week. Im currently searching for a part time job too. The move and unexpected expenses has left us at 100 dollars in our account. We have about 300 in bills left over from the move due later this month plus gas, food, pet food, and medication refills. Next month we have our first wave of bills for our new apartment coming. Rent, utilities, and internet with start up fees added to them totaling at about 1,000. Im afraid were not going to make it. Im 18 months into recovery from a long stint of alcoholism and debauchery leaving my credit score below 450 and she doesnt really have any credit. Im also around 5,000 in medical debt with 2,000 of that in collections. Were on our own on this one and I am looking for advise on what I should do. Would anywhere give me a loan without nailing my coffin with interest? Should I search for a co-signer? Is a credit card a viable option? Please help! Dread about the situation has really set in for both of us.  <response>: Sell everything that is not nailed down, tied to your making wages. You both need to find extra work, doing whatever you can, even if its just mowing a lawn here. Babysitting for a couple hours there.With your credit score, its unlikely anyone will give you a good credit card with a good interest rate. Same for a loan.If nothing else works, start asking family or friends.
