<prompt> Human: I was going to post a whole long story of my situation but theres not much point. Im out of work and looking for a job. I have 289 to my name, and I need 200 on top of that before the 17th. Even if I get a job tomorrow Im not likely to get a paycheck for that much by then. I live in a city and have a car which meets the requirements for ridesharing, but its filthy inside and out. Its also very cold here so cleaning it up myself is not an immediate option and I dont have the materials to do a decent job anyway. Hesitant to drop the cash to have it done professionally as there is very little cash to be had.My parents are somewhat well-off but Ive already hit them up for a big chunk of money, which has gone to past bills. Plus Im 30 years old so Im not exactly keen to ask for more. I have no debt and good credit, but dont really know how to use that to my advantage.As for skills Im a stagehand and carpenter. Been freelancing for a while but it is obviously not cutting it and work is scarce lately. I have two liberal arts degrees that have done me very little good in eight years. Im also a moderately good guitarist who occasionally gets paid to play small bars, but I have nothing lined up on that front until February. Im healthy and pretty strong. Has anyone managed to pull out of a tailspin like this? If so, how? Also looking for any LEGAL side-hustle ideas, related to my skills or not, that can put cash in my hand quick. Tl;dr I have 289. Need 200 more by the 17th. No job but really trying. Please help me figure this out.EDIT: Typo  <response>: Since your trying to save up a set amount youll still need food and such to survive till then. Go to churchs and shelters they can sometimes give you a free good meal, even fast food places can chew through your wallet. Also the Churches are connected to a big part of the community. You can ask them if anyone is in need of a handyman or have any odd jobs you could do.
