I need help! I am 44 years old, divorced and just recently my sons got married and moved out. I have worked most of my life for a bank as an assistant manager and left there to work for the government as a loan processor. The government job was a dream come true except I was full time temporary and they cut the budget and I was let go. Since then I have worked for many small office's that seem to close their doors because of no business and this has left me with no income. I have applied for unemployment and cannot receive it because I didn't make enough money in the quarter to qualify for it. I am going through the unemployment office to go to college to get an associates degree in Business Management, because it seems that the only way to get a job now is to have some kind of degree, but I still have no income. I have tried everywhere to get a job, but for some reason, I am over qualified or I feel maybe its my age (but it was never told to me in those terms). I am now 2 months behind on my mortgage payment, and 2 months behind on my car payment, and I can't even qualify for food stamps because I am a college student. I don't know how I am going to pay for my electric bill or food now. Does anyone know of any kind of assistance I could get to help me to make it until I can find work. The other problem is, if I do get a job, I don't have the money for gas to even get there til I make my first paycheck. I am at a loss. I can't ask my sons for help because I know they don't have money and my parents are on Social Security and don't have the money to help either. What else is there out there. I just don't want to be homeless and it seems like I don't qualify for anything that the state offers. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
