How are you guys surviving when jobless?

I know times have been hard, so I wonder how everyone is surviving through these tough times. Do you continue to burn your savings, live frugally, have a part-time job, or freelancing? Or something else? Wish to hear from you.

Full time at wal mart. I apply on my days off. The wages aren’t enough to pay rent anywhere and my student loans both.

Can you put the student loans on pause during unemployment ? I’ve had to do that. I would recommend trying that.

They said they are working at Walmart now.

Yes and they said the wal mart salary isn’t covering it. If you’re earning less than $74k? (not sure that’s the exact amount but it’s ballpark) so they can suspend the loan.

The salary covers my student loans, I’m living at home right now so I have no rent.
