Unemployment ran out before I found work

The claim window is closing and I am worried about bills. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have savings for about a month.

I took a temp job while I kept looking. It covered rent, and the agency sent me to a permanent job within a couple of months.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
