Hello, I lost my job a couple of weeks ago and now I'm on a very very low budget. Does anyone have any tips for me to survive in a normal way? Because life is so expensive...

A good idea would be to find a new job.. if you can't find a new full time job, you can always try out part time job first.

i agree with you. there must be plenty of things that you could do. brainstorm --- think of all your talents and abilities. there's gotta be something you excel on, capitalize on that. also, try some belt-tightening measures. before you buy anything, ask yourself if you really need that stuff, you couldn't live without it. if you can, then, you don't need it now. don't spend beyond what you can afford.

Buy cheaper things and only the things you need to survive until you get a new job!

try with a part time job , anything that you know you can get lots of hours and requuires less physical labour , next budget everything put away money for bils, and expenditures like food.. and then after see how much you have elft ..and get clothes etc .. good luck JoeyCa ..i lost my job too know the feeling.
