Money struggle

Where here is the thing I'm 4 months into this program where I find myself with 2 months left and it's going greatI find my mind racing though not to a point where I think about using again but I am thinking about when I'm getting out. I do get 2 Free months of 3 quarter way housing when Im done with the program. I have a job but realistically where I live Miami Florida 13 dollars an hour isn't going to going cut it much. Then again I am saving but I just feel like it's not enough and unfortunately for me job security isn't one of my biggest strong suits. I was wondering if anyone out there knows about a little bit of a money boost I can get towards getting my life together on my own. Unfortunately I'm starting from scratch and it is just me. I am grateful for what I have but I find myself in worries a bit. Thanks for letting me vent.

Keep the faith! There are plenty of opportunities out there!

You are in the perfect position to start a new skill. And the job market is ripe with opportunity. What do you currently do? What do you want to do? Ever thought about construction, or any of the trades? A journeyman electrician make 58 bucks an hour in WI. Tinner… 43 an hour. Welder/fabricator 50… learn underwater welding and that jumps to over 100 an hour. And there are tons of apprenticeships out there for the taking. I don’t know of any company that does labor that own not hiring… even if you don’t have experience. You may not start at those rates, but put some time and show you are dependable and it can happen.

It’s a great time for finding jobs that are offering more $$ because it’s hard to find staffing! You got this😎
