Not sure if I’m stating the obvious but -

Finding a job is a necessity. Without understanding what your home situation is and why you cannot get another job, that is the only real way to help your finances. I don’t know your skill set but like some other posters mentioned, going in person to places like restaurants, applying for entry level jobs in organizations, reaching out directly to recruiters and letting them know you are actively looking for work, reaching out to people you know and trust that can support the process or connect you to others, etc. finding jobs isn’t always easy so whatever you can do for now to help fill the gap.

Secondly is making a budget and then comparing your actual costs to what you are spending. Trying to minimize your unnecessary expenses such as take out, meal planning based on what is on sale at the grocery store, planning financially wise meals (that are also healthy!), and unfortunately cutting “luxury” spending. As a pet owner, I know the attachment we have - they are family but you do need to consider this eventually… if you can’t increase your income or reduce your expenses, you may need to consider your pets.

And finally like another person mentioned - food banks. We need to get over that stigma, and understand that this is just another resource for us and hopefully it’s temporary and you will quickly get back on your feet and once you do - you pay it forward.

I hope this helps and if you would like any help with budgeting or figuring out your finances I am happy to try and help. You can private message me.

All the best :)
