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?
