Pray to God and tell Him your probs and ask Him to help you!

Don't take out a loan and don't sell anything, especially yourself. Since you posted in this category I assume you were looking for something more. May I suggest that you schedule a time in the evening or morning when you have a few minutes and take this to God in prayer. I'm serious! I've seen Him help with situations like the one you're in many times. You need a better job but you can't take time off the lousy job to look. You don't have a dime to spare and you're not sure about making the bills this month. I know! A young friend of mine is in college and she says it's accepted practice among people she knows at school to sell plasma. Don't do that, you won't need to. She never has. Sometimes things get tight for her but God always provides somehow. He will for you too. Just develop a relationship with Him, or improve the one you already have.
Talk to Him. Ask Him for help. And give Him back a little by looking into His word. He'll help you even without doing that, but hey, what could it hurt? Start in Acts in the New Testament. Chapter 1 and 2 are pretty amazing. And just go from there.
And don't forget to pray for a few minutes each day. Remind Him you're still here :-) Then pay attention and be prepared for any opportunities. You never know how your help may find you. But remember it will always be something pleasing to God. Not selling yourself.
Let us know when help "arrives".

Priority 1: Take care of business. Keep your job pay rent feed yourself pay your rent. NOTHING ELSE IS PRIORITY ONE
Priority 2: Increase your income. Find a new job. Want ads come out on sunday morning, put down 50 resumes every sunday. put up a profile on Monster and another local employment net. Take a day off work work and go to your local unemployment office and look for employment resources you can use. Use vacation or sick days to go on interviews if you can't schedule around work. Sell posessions you're not using on Ebay, pick up temp work or another part time job, kick your own *** into generating income.
Priority 3: Cut your overhead. Reduce your spending by all possible means. Once your income is better start looking for a cheaper living arrangement. Track your unfixed expenses, see where your money is going and constrict.
Priority 4: Reduce the Chaos in your life. Remove influences that will keep you from concentrating on your goals. Party friends, drama queens, even your SO. Don't burn bridges, just tell them that you need to get your life straightenned out so you're taking some time off.

The problem is that you shouldn't be seating there, worries?, we all have, some more than others., though, more worries will only add more worries to the existing ones?, I don't know of any well deem millionaire because if so, I will recommend him to you. So, instead of waiting and wasting time, make time, perhaps just a bit in the beginning though as you will be able to see and experience time it self, is just a relative Force, though if we don't make the equivalent to time of what we are, Humans and intelligent beings, we will never be able to in our own realize that such Force can be, and for some of us, become totally destructive. Well, let us say, is so, can we do something to turn not just the card but also the tables around and then pick-up, our favored set, and for such a moment just contemplate the time that has gone pass. It will not return, it will never return, it doesn't matter for how long we can wait, it will not RETURN!!!!, Time too realize, that there is something, or someone, once did, or happen, that will not allow us, to think that been time just a force, We, not only need tot, but we has to control it, if not, it will take control of US.<>

Don't wait to be rescued woman because Prince Charming may never show up.

Start making small changes in your life starting with your outlook. Whatever you focus on will multiply so look at what is GOOD and make a list. Add to your list often.

Then look into taking small steps towards your goal...look for the job/career that would make you happy and list what you need to do to get it. If that means going back to school, look for an evening class and enroll. Community colleges are more affordable, offer evening and weekend courses and sometimes on-line courses. Speak with a college counselor if you need help.

Don't fret if it looks like at this rate it will take you years to reach your goal. In a few years you can look back and say, "Damn! If I had taken just one class per semester/quarter, I would be done by now!" or you can be done!

Write down your goals, successes, and check off your to-do list what you have accomplished. If you are consistent you will notice changes and progress.

Also, spend some time on a hobby to clear your head of worry. Worrying will only make you stress and take the clarity out of your head. To problem solve you will need a clear mind.

Good luck. You WILL do great!

How much are you spending a month on internet access? Cable? Clothes? Dining out? Movies and other entertainment? Where can you cut back on your expenses in order to have the money to reapply it elsewhere?

What kind of car is it? Can you trade it in for a less expensive one? A used one? One that gets better gas mileage?

Where are you living? At home? In a house? In an apartment? Can you move to less expensive lodgings and have the money to reapply it elsewhere?

Have you started a savings account that you pay something into with every paycheck (even if it's $10) that you DON'T TOUCH? Or do you just spend every penny you get?

There are ways out that don't include having to rely on someone else and being the victim. They're not EASY, but they're THERE.

First, let me ask you if you go to church? I know you are busy and probably like to reserve Sundays for relaxation. Well, I have been somewhat in your shoes. I was a single mom of two girls, working 43 hours a week, coming home doing all the good mommy stuff and had no money or time when it was said and done. When I got back into church, tithing, started back praying and asking for God's help. He answered my prayers. I'd love to tell you He helped me win the lottery or become a millionare but that's not what happened. However, what did happen is He helped me to make ends meet. I still can't tell you how He took the same amount of money I was always making and made it stretch but He did. Have faith, go to church, pray. God will help you.

I'm a millionaire, but I'm not giving you anything.
Good luck though.

PS
You'd be surprised how you can manage to make a change with what little spare time you have. Being in a dead end job can be soul destroying, so you may be sabotaging your life without realizing it. Remember, if you have a negative thought, it's usually the Saboteur in your head speaking. Don't listen to the Saboteur. The Saboteur is VERY BAD. Screw the nasty ol' Saboteur.
I'm very serious. Try it!

try taking some classes online or at night.. a lot of community colleges help with those schedules. also, make up ur resume and apply, maybe take a half day and spend it emailing to as many jobs as possible...what's great about the internet and monster.com, etc, u can submit resumes and fill out apps any hour of the day, even at night. u can go to a library if u dont' have computer at home....or a friend's house. also, u can look for jobs that want faxed or mailed resumes, in case u don't have computer access at work to look online (hehe i do it occasionally). save up ur money as best u can, try not to make too many frivolous purchses right now. if u go back to school, get a part time job to get u some cash, and experience. if u have good friends or family, ask to borrow money to help u go back to school. if not, try to apply for a loan, right now credit unions are very low in interest..but u have to have good credit. maybe u can refinance ur car loan to get a better rate? there's lots of options, but it takes time and effort to find them. good luck,and don't give up hope. the fact that u want to go back to school is AWESOME...all u need to do is find a means to do it, and if u want it bad enough, u will. take care of urself!

I felt the same way but i took the very little money i have and am taking one or two classes each semester. It will take a long time to graduate but mostly it gives me the hope for the better job and the better future community college is pretty cheap($167 for the class $80 for the book) mostly its about the extra strength it gives you to get threw the day....Good luck and the lottery is not a bad idea either!!!!

thats the problem i run into with most women my age... it doesnt matter what position theyre in its always a rut after awhile ... im content to have a job and be out of debt... hoping to find someone like-minded one of these days that doesnt think somthing better is "over there" somewhere at the end of another rainbow. theres nothing wrong with going back to school tho and i want to sign up for a couple of classes myself just for the enjoyment of it ... not looking to be a millionaire just enjoying my life.
