<prompt> Human: I have a tricky situation with lots of personal mistakes. To get to the point, heres my current debt.EDIT: Just because it was asked, my income is pretty much 2,600 a month.Overdue rent for month of February: 2,600Coming rent for March :2,400 Overdrawn debit card: 2,300 couldnt pay rent one month and let it overdrawCredit card payment: 1,500 late 6 months nowAnother credit card payment: 400Target red card: 1,000 started using it to pay for food knowing full well I never have extra funds after rent to help make the minimumOthers have it much worse so I try to remain positive all the time, but getting constant phone calls from debt collectors due to how late my credit card bills are, only to be told I dont qualify for any hardship help due to my rent being so high, AND them saying unless I pay now they will continue to pester me, this all adds to me having some pretty shitty days. All of this debt primarily is thanks to trying to keep up with rent in this place I should have never moved in to since my job was pretty unstable at the time, but I took the plunge. My mistake and I take responsibility here.I already asked a relative who has the means to help few months back just to help pay my rent for the month and also utilities that were way past due, in addition to extra I saved towards rent another month since I knew it would happen again since used. I have been working hard at my job salary based and finally paid off all my utilities which had accumulated again since that time, but that unfortunately took away a good 1,200 that made it so this month of February I have been at a total loss to pay the rent at all yet again. I just cant ever have extra to help pay utilities and the credit cards, and push came to shove concerning utilities this month since my job is at home and I got two notifications for shut-offs, which would ruin me since I work from home and depend on them. Of course, it would be ideal to just break the lease, but that requires paying two months upfront and even management agreed its best I just stay till the end at this point if I can force it, which is only three more months. I am selling some assets that can help pay the total for Marchs rent, but I got an eviction notice saying I have until this Monday to pay for February or else I will go through the whole legal process. This scares me as my credit is ruined enough as it is, and my previous roommate who has since left is still on the lease and would also suffer the consequences. Too late to get them signed off.Im about to call the relative again, but it is just so shameful and I know how bad it is that just because theyre family I am expecting help. I am going to do my best to get them to help with just this months rent, but the rest I am lost. I dont intend to ask for help regarding anything besides rent since its just too much. The way things are looking, even getting off the hook for this months rent and next month, I will still be living until the end of the lease only being able to afford rent and nothing more. I have already accepted that I will not pay utilities again until I leave, to ease the load.I have no idea what kind of advice I can possibly receive, but I am hoping perhaps someone can tell me something I dont know besides you have to pay. Thats all my bank told me when I went in the other day, and it couldnt be more discouraging.Thank you for any advice.  <response>: Holy crap OP, 2600 for rent when you barely make that much to begin with?I would suggest moving to a cheaper area ASAP, maybe something in the 1000 range. You can use the savings of 1600 a month to support your living and pay off debt.It wont be quick, but if you stay with it you may pay it all off by the end of the year.Moral of the story: Live within your means, not on par or above them.
