Huge problem, scared, don't know what to do...

[BPHERP]

We are in some real trouble. My partner is unable to get unemployment money...so we have NOTHING. We've been applying for jobs, of course, but haven't heard a thing yet. To make a long and sad story short, we have no money at all.

This means that I don't have the means to feed my snakes! I currently only have enough frozen rats left for one more week...
Not to mention the payment on the storage room for all our stuff, and the credit card bills, and food and utilities help. I have never been closer to a nervous breakdown in my life than I am now.

Sorry to have depressed anyone...I guess I just needed to get that out. And of course, any suggestions on what the heck we can do are most appriciated, as are words of comfort. I need them. I need something...

About 6 years ago, when I was struggling, I had to determine what my needs vs. wants were; when things are good the line between the two gets blurred because excess funds allows for such latitude. I also went to work at Pizza Hut, and while it was a hard pill to swallow at 33 years old (at the time) I had money every night from tips and it felt good to have money on a daily basis. What I am getting at is, snakes are a luxury item and in the hierarchy of needs, they are very low, so I would say, sell the snakes and take care of yourselves first. When things get better, and they should, these things can be gotten again.
