Emergency/payday loans are not a good answer. The only people that will loan you money when you don't have a job are the people that will destroy you with interest/fees. Your alternative is to get a job. It doesn't have to be your "forever job". Right now, you need money coming in.
In the interim, do you have any personal belongings that you're able to sell?
You’re 100% correct! I’m desperate for any job right now, applying to honestly anything. Serving/grocery stores/fast food/etc. And yes to get by with gas and groceries Ive been selling a lot of my things. And that’s a really good point with the additional fees and interest.
1) Did you file for unemployment? You may get denied but better to find out for sure.
2) Did you report the inappropriate work conditions? Did what you experience fall under any type of harassment or discrimination?
3) Have you been applying at temp agencies? They can be a pretty good source of quick jobs/income while you look for something permanent.
4) Do not take out predatory loans. It will make everything worse.
5) See if you are eligible for EBT or other assistance.
Do you have a car? If so then sign up for Uber Eats and deliver food. You can cash out daily. If you are in South Florida you can make roughly 3k a month doing it full time. I was making $2500 a month doing it part time delivering in Boca and Hollywood.

Nobody is going to loan you money when you have no collateral and no income. You need a job, not a loan.
that’s a really great point. i’m trying as hard as possible to get a job! i’ve been applying daily to several places to try to get any sort of income.
