    This may be me soon. Right now, I have $1,300 in my savings and about $240 due to come in from my part time job.
    My rent will be $840, due August 1st, plus water & electric ($80) due in August.

    I’ve been mostly unemployed since Dec. 2008. I say mostly, because I do work part time ($7.55/hr. 15 hours/week) and I’ve had a few “temp” gigs. Unemployment ran out Nov. 2010. I was ineligible for food stamps and welfare (because I work part time natch) and try to go to school one night a week.
