<prompt> Human: So Im on my own. Im 19 and living in UT. I work part time at 9 dollars a hour. My lease is up for the place Im at on December 31st. I have almost no savings because my parents were helping me out out with things like car and insurance. The rest went to were I was living which I could only afford with all the money I was making. Yes it was stupidMy, I honestly thought I could do it, but I couldnt. My mom died and my dad stopped all payments to help me out. The reason they were helping me out in the first place is because I was out of rehab and they drug tested me and if I stayed clean they would help me get on my feet. My dad has cut off all contact after my mom died. Every place Ive looked at is all around the 400-500 range for either room to rent or shared room. I know I need to pick up a second job. Im making roughly 700 a month after taxes. I dont want to leave the current job because its doing what I love and it is a very good environment to stay sober, which is something Im trying super hard to concentrate on during this time of my life. My question is, how do I look for cheaper places? How do I get a credit card with no credit, when Ive only ever used a debit card? What am I supposed to do? My car is currently out of commission, its literally everything going to shit. I know my life isnt nearly as hard as others, so please dont say that, Ive already heard it. Im in Utah and all my old friends and family is on the east coast. I have tried contacting my dad, no answer, other family, no response yet. I get paid this upcoming Monday which I will obviously put towards a new place or at least a months rent but between that and getting my car to work again Ill have little room for food. Do I make a food budget and follow it strictly? I went from sheltered kid in middle upper class life to rehab to staying in Utah to try and make it on my own. No savings and Im sorry for repeating but I need to get my head straight. Anything helps guys. Let me know if you need more info.  <response>: Glad to hear youre sober, keep it up. My advice is this: if youre not making enough money to survive then youre not making enough money. Regardless of how you feel about your job, it needs to enable your survival or you need another job.
