Paying landlords kinda sucks, huh? Struggling to pay the rent is a common experience, but it can feel completely alienating. Here are the best ways to keep afloat
Rent sucks. Landlords suck.
We all know this, so let's keep this short and sweet and get to the part about wtf you should do if you can't pay your rent
Let's get the easiest (or perhaps most awkward) one out of the way: talk to your landlord.
You don't want to take out a loan only to find out they were happy to negotiate.
Check for late payment fees, tell them when your next paycheck is coming. If you have a good payment history, don’t be shy about reminding them.
Finally: know your rights. Visit hud.gov and find your tenancy rights by state under “What we do."

Feels very grown up asking for finance advice, huh?
Time for not-so-free options: dipping into your savings pots is never desirable. But, in undesirable times, know that you are basically loaning yourself money.
Plus, it won’t come with the astronomical interest rate of a payday loan.
Now for the least tasty outcome: debt.
Don't let your fight or flight response urge you to take out a flashy loan or credit card. Find the lowest interest rate available, and if you feel unsure, contact the provider for clarity. But: you must always avoid payday loans – always.
Lockdown changed us in many ways. Some of us run now, others live off of TikTok food hacks. One or two of us have vouched to never leave the house again. One thing that the pandemic will have changed in all of us though, is our spending. Here are the personality types we see coming out of the woodwork post-lockdown. Tag yourself.
You’re feeling nervous about your money right now, but you probably don’t need to worry.
Money is often so unnecessarily complicated. Case in point, tax brackets. No, we’re not talking about a basketball tournament here, we’re talking about how much tax you’re going to pay on your income (spoiler: probably a lot 🤡).
