no money, recently fired, no idea what to do

hey so i’m a young person living in a house that i rent, i recently got fired from my job and looking for a new job seems futile (im still trying but every day i apply to more places with no luck) i can’t move in with my parents because they would just make me pay rent anyways (and about the same as i pay now) and my parents refuse to help me financially, i have tried to get help through centrelink, but i am not considered independent by them, and so there’s nothing i can do to get any help! my parents earn too much for me to get anything as a dependant (ironic since they won’t help me out i know) and im losing hope… i may end up homeless or couch surfing and i just feel like my life is already over.. can anyone give me some advice? im trying to scrounge up anything of value to sell at the moment but it takes too long

Hello Dear Avery,

 

Welcome to the forums..

 

Im sorry this is happening to you, I’m wondering if getting a border in will help you with staying where you are….Having someone to share the rent, utilities and living costs might be an option for you to consider….at least until you get back on your feet with a new job etc…

 

My kindest thoughts Dear Avery,

Grandy..
