I just got paid and I can't afford rent.
I had to set up a payment arrangement plan with my rental company because our rent was so late. Had other emergencies come up and I'm still $300 short for rent. They've extended it as far as they can and today is the last day I can pay before we get an eviction notice. I've had to borrow against my paychecks for a couple months after the other income was laid off. I've tried getting payday loans and bill pay services but I don't have the money for a subscription service. Everyone in the house is overdrafted or already borrowed the max amount of money.
I'm at work now and trying to figure out what to do but I'm almost at my limit. I live in Alabama if that helps. My mother is on oxygen and I don't know how she will survive if we lose the house. I don't even know if I want to try to.
