Financial Issues

Growing up, my family never had a lot of money. Now that I have left education, my parents don't get any money for me. I can't live on fresh air, I'm doing my best to get a job but so far unsuccessful, if I don't earn money soon, I'm scared my parents and I will loose the little have in life, my life, I can't let that all go and I'm doing my best but I can't help but feel it's all my fault, future education was too expensive was too much for me.

Isabella there any other ways to get money really quickly?

Have you investigated what state benefits you may be entitled to? Have you registered as unemployed and seen what help you can get through your local Job Centre?

In the meantime, how's your CV? Can you do anything to enhance it, like volunteering?

Firsly it is not your fault. Try finding a job even if it is part time to start of with. if you are good at your job they might take you on full time. least it helps money wise in the short term until you get sorted. Good luck

My CV is strong, I have my education, things I took part my achievements etc, in terms of benefits I've been told to apply for universal credit but i dont know how to do that so I have to go to Citezins advice. Last week I was finally diagnosed with autism so my parents considered that I could get disability benefits because I struggle so much. I don't currently know what I want to do anymore
