Quit job and have no money at all

drod123

I was working for a business a year and quit my job.

I have been paying national insurance for 3 years. I never saved my money and have very little to live on.

Since I quit my job I don't think I will be able to claim JSA for 26 weeks.
I am single with no kids. What am I able to do, starve, pull a job out of the air.

I quit due to the amount of work that I was being forced to do and I couldn't do it.

Next time you get a job make sure you're in the union, then you can get the union's help in dealing with issues.

Too late for this job, you've effectively walked out.

Have you started actively job Seeking?

Yes, but then I will soon run out of my own savings. Then I won't have money for food. That is business for you, some people wouldn't bother getting a job but since people work hard until the can't anymore and quit, they can't even access the tax and NI they paid when they need it through JSA.

Thing is, you weren't sacked, you chose to walk out. So it's your choice. There may have been strategies that could have been put in place to support you. Were they even aware that you were finding the work challenging?

What 'some people' would or wouldn't do is irrelevant, you have chosen to walk out of a job.

And, as for 'accessing tax and ni' you can walk into a hospital or doctors and receive treatment, should you need it right now. So the access is there.

What do you mean by 'that is companies for you?' You chose to leave!

Days later I was in receipt of pay (truthfully)


Either that or you need to get to the Jobcentre or register with agencies xx

Is food really your only worry? What about your rent and bills?

You can get a small hardship amount from the DWP....but it isn't anywhere near enough to live on. You'll either need to get a job or learn to live on next to nothing. Cut everything back to almost nothing. If you have access to further credit such as a credit card use it to maintain your minimum repayments to keep your credit rating good and if you cannot get any further credit then stop paying your creditors altogether.

Next time a job becomes too hard and stressful go to your GP. You need their support to walk out of a job and straight onto JSA.

I haven't worked a full time job in years but seem to manage quite well. If you still have access to a reasonable level of savings you can look at ways of making those savings work for you. I do matched betting taking advantage of bonus offers and easily make £1,000 per month profit. You could start small with around £100 just doing a small offer each week and work your way up.

I did work and i am now as bad off as long term unemployed, it shouldn't matter if I left. It should count that I tried to work, at the moment i've paid my rent and bills for a while but I will now have to take any crap temp job I get and then hopefully get fired so that I can get JSA.

What is match betting, I don't know nothing about football.

This is true. It was always my "immediate fallback" position through my earlier years.

Telephone canvassing for double glazing companies. If you can speak (and not grunt) and present yourself to them they pretty much hire on the spot and start straight away.

Of course, you might get there and decide you hate it, but it's pretty fast money for as long as you can stomach it.

I'd just look for every company advertising - and even some who weren't - it'd not take more than a few calls to find somebody hiring.

Double glazing, insurance, fitted kitchens .... over the years I did the lot.

I'd do it again now, except I've got burn out from the idea.... it's more of a young/keen/energetic person's game.
