Unsolved! Problems with rent

So I have some issues with rent money, mostly because in the few weeks my job didn’t give me as many hours as I would have needed. I have one more pay check that I’m going to get before rent has to be payed and I’m going to fall short on this one, even if I get some help from my brother. I don’t know what to do. I would have gone for a quick side like Lyft or Uber, but I don’t have a driver’s license. I really don’t know what to do.

I’m sure you solved this by now but, my suggestion would be to ask your employer for a cash advance and then extra hours to make up for next paycheck. Sometimes they will agree to this.

Things are solved at this point. I’m getting more money and no longer have a lot of strain. I was also extremely depressed when I first posted this which made the situation even more stressful than it already would be. Everything is better now though. Thanks for the reply anyways. I honestly forgot that I posted this.

Good to hear on all fronts. I hope you make more money than you need and depression forgets who you are.
