Can I rant for a few minutes? I honestly am not asking for anything. I am 40F and I am super depressed with this current economy that we live in. I was doing Instacart since January but between the lack of orders and the price of gas, coupled with the wear and tear on my car, it’s not profitable. I was putting my bank account in the negative just to fill up my gas tank, last time it was $40. So I already start in the hole!! Even if I make $100 and I need $100, I need to make $140.
    I have an internet bill that will be shut off on the 14th since it’s past due. I was able to lower the monthly amount from
    $60 to $30. I’m not too worried about the Internet as I don’t work from home.
    I get paid on the 15th so that will likely have a service reconnection fee.
    I’ve been constantly looking for a 2nd job. I’ve been trying to work for DoorDash when Instacart is slow but that’s the same scenario.
    What can I do?! I feel I have cut out every additional and unnecessary expense out.

    I just don’t know how to keep a positive attitude while dealing with all of these financial issues. I don’t know how to get ahead. Does anyone have any suggestions?

      Gas prices are absolutely killing gig work right now, been there with DoorDash 😂 Maybe try looking for remote customer service jobs since you mentioned not needing internet at home – lots of companies hiring for evening/weekend shifts that might work around your current schedule 💀

    2. I just checked and I could get a job at a Walmart in walking distance in a matter of days.

      Some others also. I’ve never used them before, so I haven’t burned that bridge.

      If I went seasonal, I wouldn’t burn that bridge.
