<prompt> Human: Hi PF, Im hoping you can help me.I graduated from college a year ago with thankfully only about 6000 in debt. I had been interning at a company during college and they offered me a job after I graduated. I was to move to their office in California was located in NY previously after Christmas, which I did. They gave me a little bit of money for moving expenses, but I basically blew the little savings I had on moving expenses and the whole first last month security deposit deal.Fast forward 2 months later. I get called in and told that unfortunately they have to let me go, but they will be offering me 1 month severance pay. A month later, I have no solid leads on jobs, and money is starting to dry up. I only moved out here because I thought I had job security... I am going to leave the emotion out of this because right now all I care about it making sure I can eat pay rent until I find something.The breakdown:About 1500 in cash2,500 on CC 1 17.9 interest, min payment 602,100 on CC 2 20.9 interest, min payment 455,500 in Student loan 3.61, 56 mandatory paymentNon-negotiables:Rent: 800Cell: 85Car Insurance: 250 I drove like an idiot when I was youngerUtilities: 50Any advice on how I can better myself until I find work? I am very well qualified for my age, but even if I got a job tomorrow, I probably wouldnt get my first paycheck for a couple weeks, and I dont know if I can survive on that.I have applied for Unemployment Insurance, but what else can I do? Can I get a deferment or something on my student loan? Thanks for all your help.Assistant: Go home or wherever you have a personal and professional support network. Start over. Youre young, this sucks right now, but its going to be fine.Human: Pretty much stuck out here. Signed a year-long lease in January, dont have the money to relocate, parents dont have the to help me out. Im dead set on finding a job ASAP, I just need to know if there is anything I can do to make the money I have stretch farther while minimally hurting my credit.  <response>: I dont think you understand the severity of your situation. Assuming you dont have any other savings you didnt lay out above, you have less than 1 month of living expenses. Youre literally counting the days to being homeless and unable to feed yourself.Youve got no current job leads. On the best day, its going to take a company a month from initial contact to a full time hire. With no prospects, its much more likely that youre looking at a 3-6 month stint of unemployment. An hourly job isnt going to cover your fixed costs and youre going to just dig yourself deeper and deeper.You have some cash now and apparently a car and a credit card so you have a means to get home. Unless your parents would truly refuse you a place to stay, then thats your best option.
