My roomate and I have been unemployed since March. We both cashed out our 401k and I have been working hard to really structure out my spending, so I have a month and a half before the money runs out. However my roomate has not been as cautious, and is pretty much at a 0 dollar balance. Everything was riding on her getting a job she was told that she would be hired based on a background check, which we thought she was fine. She had one small midemeanor 6 years ago. Today we found out that she failed the background check and because of this she will not be hired. I'm so stressed out right now worried about her and her ability to get by. Beyond that I'm even more concerned for my own situation, as we share rent/electric/water etc. If she can't pay her half then I too am screwed...... I feel like I have done everything possible to help push her to find a job and to do what she can to find something quick, but at this point I have to start looking out for myself...... *here's to hoping I don't have to find a new place to live soon*
