I am currently in a bad financial situation as I have lost my job. I am not here to ask for sympathy or money but I figured this board would be the right place to go for advice on what to do next. what are some good financial moves I can make within a months time to keep me going? I have been applying to pretty much every job in my area. I am not financially savy outside of the realm of saving a few dollars at the grocery store, any advice you guys can give would help me a lot. sorry in advance if I annoyed the posters here,

Hello, Anon. I hope you are doing well. Since you lost your job, apply for unemployment. As a temp job while you are looking for a permanent job, you could possibly do Uber, Uber eats, or a warehouse job. A warehouse job would probably be better since the Uber job would eat at your gas and other car finances. Good luck, and I wish you well.

That week we had big events on the weekends. Mostly hourly with about a 1/4 of that in tips. I can assure you it's not too good to be true.

I know it probably comes off as extremely creepy or weirdoish---but there's a certain free spirited energy involved in being a food trucker. If OP is relatively young and looking for a fresh start, this could be the random ass chance of a lifetime. I had a crew of dudes living upstairs who worked for me. CoVID made the guys move out with their girlfriends. I had a guy just move here from Colorado I met at a bar. Not sure if he's going to work out, but he's trying.

This might sound extremely random...but it's 100% legit. I have a food truck business. Multiple trucks. Had a restaurant in midtown Manhattan. I'm bout to open a "permanent" location in Brooklyn. And I've got a couple of other things coming up that are pretty interesting.

You'll probably one day figure out who I am when this gets to the level I think it will. At that point you probably will genuinely regret not taking this seriously.

My backstory is pretty incredible. The specific food I'm doing is absolutely exploding everywhere.

I don't even know what you're trusting your gut on--you didn't even talk to me in person. Your gut steered you wrong here my guy, but you're free to do what you want. I was planning on giving you a zoom tour of what I do with the trucks and everything so you know I'm not full of shit. But your call.

I can't say I'll check that email or this thread much after today, but you've got a window open. Canada is fucked dude. I don't mean that as a disrespect. It's just in way worse shape than the US, and that's hard to believe.

I ask about your age--because we grind hard here. I wake up early, it's hot in the trucks in the summer and cold in the winter. But it's doable. If you're like 50 years old, it's def not for you. I'm 38 about to be 39. The dude who just moved here from Colorado is my age, and he's doing it.

That's why I inquired about age. I just wouldn't recommend this if you're like a 50 year old guy.

Kinda what I was thinking too. I even went thru the effort to make a random email to communicate.

I seriously hit rock bottom myself. Was on food stamps and I won the money to start my food truck on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

That's why I have no problem giving a shot to other people. My goal was to eventually buy up some housing and put homeless veterans back on their feet by givnig them a super cheap place to live and a business that kinda celebrates American culture as a way of bringing them back.

That's all talk till I do it....but I will someday.

Covid kicked me in the nuts. Royally. But I'm bouncing back harder than ever. Some pretty dynamic things are goign on behind the scenes that are going to facilitate how much money I can make. And we're working on expansion.

This literally would be the perfect opportunity for someone with limited skill set, a desire to create something, and vision to take a proven model that other men turned into a billion dollar idea, into our own billion dollar idea.
