Agreed and that'd be great. But also, no that doesn't help this individual right now at all.
Of course a better paying job will help. If your job paid more and you spend the same, suddenly and by definition, the person would not be as broke.
We all agree his current job should pay more, or he should find a better one.
That was like #1 on his list already, that's common sense not advice. We know the world doesn't make doing those things easy, so he's clearly looking for other ways.
I'll even do you one better, he's not even here for solutions, sometimes people want to talk and share common situations/experiences.
