Short on Rent
I’m short $500 on rent because I had other expenses take money out of my account. Today is the last day to pay my rent on time before I get a late fee.

The story
I’m 26 years old and I work at a grocery store. I also have a cat who is my absolute baby :)
I just have medical expenses that took my money out of my account first before I had the chance to pay my rent. I still have money left over, but I am $500 short.
What the money covers:
- To pay my rent
Needed by: Today if possible.
Already tried: Credit cards, payday loans and asking family/friends to borrow.
Already helping: No one.
What changes: I will do a better job at budgeting. I will change my other expenses to not be around the same time as rent.

Medical bills taking rent money before you could pay it is a trap many people fall into. Praying the late fee is avoided and the shortfall is covered today.
It says a lot that you already have a plan for budgeting once this is behind you. Hoping the shortfall is covered today so the late fee never happens.
A late fee on top of an already tight month is the last thing you need. Praying the 500 comes together today and that your cat keeps you company through the worry.
