You want advice on the car or living conditions

You can only subsist on Minimum Wage and even that is hard. You have to improve your station in life. Doh study that "things hard" because you will become stuck in that mindset. There are opportunities:

1. As you said get a second job.
2. Keep trying to find a better job.
3. Identify a need and start a business to fill that need (doh study capital, if we are to believe the success stories of the 1% some of them started selling cloth out of a suitcase... )
4. Migrate to a country with better opportunities etc.

In the meantime learn to live within your means.

Also, DO NOT make your situation worse by taking on extra responsibilities e.g. wife/husband/child/family etc. if you cannot afford to take care of them. That will just add to the stress.

Nobody saying things go be easy but yuh could make it. Good luck.

This is highly subjective. Depends on what you consider survive.

[red bwoy]

The easiest way to beat this period of little to nothing coming in is to have very little in the way of pride where work is concerned no job is too demeaning if it pays the bills and don't compromise your integrity

Private cars.
But the gas/hour rate is so high, that you can fill up after a shift and end up with rell change.

[Ted_v2]

10$ a delivery, plus 20$ a hour to be on standby.

Yuh making big money.

Eat a lot of humble pie. Live in parent's house if you can - save a fuckton on rent. Help with bills though, else that's just loafing.

Save a bunch of money by preparing meals at home vs buying out.

Buy a cheap, reliable car and keep it in good working condition. In some areas travelling via taxi is cheaper, but if you from deep south and hadda work up north well...

Don't spend on unnecessary clothes, jewelry, electronics. Don't keep up with the jonses. Live within your means. Save as much as you can.

Avoid credit card debt.
Avoid loans if you can.
Don't play baller to get nookie.

Then develop additional skills via schooling/training.
Get a better work at some point.
Rinse and repeat.

U owe me a 2piece original with 2 biscuits wen u get the wuk eh!

[philliprock]

Vexx dog is absolutely right. .. knowledge over money

[paid_influencer]

first, realize that this world is made for suffering. any pleasure we get in this world is momentary and will end, leaving only suffering.

second, understand that the world is impermanent and always changing. you are powerless to stop the things you value from being lost, damaged or destroyed. it will cause suffering if you value anything in this world.

third, engage in quiet mediation. the only thing you can control is your reaction to the world. clear your mind, let your thoughts focus on nothing. a mind clear of thoughts will relieve you of your suffering.

fourth, go to religious places and gatherings. Religion teaches self control and emotional awareness. Also, as a practical matter there is food there.
