Family is family & friends are friends & when it comes to borrowing it could be a tricky thing & with all honesty you shouldn’t ask. As for your job I’m sorry to hear that your hours are being cut & if I were in your situation I would start looking for another job or a part time job as well. As for my friends in the past friends have asked for money & I told them straight out I’m a friend when I’m a friend but when it comes to money we are not friends & I’m not a bank as well so don’t ask.

Start cutting your bills & budget more. Separate wants from needs & go from there.

Go get a part time job or a new full time job.

I understand that is sucks. As others have said, just provide a very clear timeline of when and how the money will be returned.

Of course if this is a short term loan, consider calling whoever you owe the money too. Pretty much every company is willing to establish a plan when contacted.

Of course if you live in Northern/Western Europe, most of the time if this is a vital cost your government will cover it. If here, it is a right you have and you should use it.

I don't see the problem. Just make sure that you tell her when you can expect to pay it back and stick to that to give reassurance.

It’s embarrassing to me to have to ask

that's a lot short on bills! even if you got the money, how are you going to get it next month?

[Asker]

I start my part time second job next month

[Sevenpointfive]

oh okay, good! i was worried for you. that changes everything! go to the one person that you know this will not be an imposition on and explain your situation. i think they'd gladly loan you the money

So borrow from a bank or pay with credit card.

You're an adult. Fix your own problems. Get another job.
