I'm unemployed, down to last $500, what should I do?

Someone asked me the following question:

“If you were unemployed and down to your last $500 what would you do?”

So I posed that question to different people from various backgrounds and social economic levels.

I decided to post a few answers. Feel free to read and reply with your own answer.

I have decided to keep all answers anonymous. Also the answers were copied, pasted and unedited.

1. Pray. Then use and try to recognize what resources are available to me. For guidance and opportunity to rise above my circumstances.

2. Repent, because obviously you are in sin and God is punishing you.

3. Prolly look for another job.

4. Pay bills for the next month so I have a roof, heat and a place to sleep for the next month while I look for a job. And also apply for unemployment benefits.

5. That's a long answer. There are tons of businesses to start under $500. Two examples: 1. Fashion: buy wholesale and sell retail. 2. You can't forget about MLM.

6. Call everyone and make payment arrangement stretchin out the balance over the next few payments.

7. Remember how it felt last time and depend on God again becuz he worked it out before!!!!

8. I've been there. TRUST GOD.

9. Sow seeds in the Kingdom and let God have His way.

10. i dont know

11. pray lol and be really wise, wisdom and a door to open quickly provision

12. Find supplement income quickly ie.. Unemployment Insurance, Part Time Job,Start a business

13. whew! tithe, and budget I don't know of any worthwhile investments right now beyond God

14. wow good question...i would spend a portion on supplies that would last and fill the physical temple..pay the phone so my new employer can contact me....give my tithe as in know God has something in store for me..

15. If it was me and I was desperate, I would find the most anointed Man of God that I had access to and sow the seed of my last (like the widow woman did to Elijah) in him and expect a miracle.

16. look 4 a job or really advertise

17. invest in an opportunity that would help me grow

18. been there. The question should be what did I do...

19. Go look for a job. Cut unnecessary expenses. Find suitable living arrangements. Sell personal service. Create a list of how to generate additional revenue.

20. I thanked God for His provision, for my wife and for healing. When I got better I went back to doing my business....i'm still doing it...Two are better than one.

21. Let those close to me know, call everyone I owe (bills), not pay any bills, find needs I could fill fast for cash, (odd jobs), ask for help and look for work.

Thank everyone that responded back. Feel free to post your own answer below and spread the word.
