Things just got super stressful. Its kinda crazy since all 3 of us worked at the hospital but in different areas. My brother did something really dumb. He has been late to work a few times, probably more than a few, and convinced his baby mama to clock him in while he wasnt at work several times. The hospital caught this on camera and gave the option to resign so it wont go on their records if they are terminated. So they resigned. Since they resign, that means no unemployment.

Now we have bills to pay on my weaker pay check. Another thing, my brother was not only helping me pay the bills at our house, he was helping the baby mama pay bills at her house. Now all of that is gone. To top it off, my brother blown through his PTO time so he will only get paid about 27 hours of PTO.

I guess their are only a couple of things that are good news. First is that my brother has a very strong resume for a job that seems to be in decent demand. Since he resigned at least they wont know he was stealing time.

The second thing is that, unlikely my brother, I tend to highly prepare. I make less than he does but Im very cautious. I actually have plenty of money saved just in case of an emergency after I experienced running out of money when I got my hours cut at my previous job. In terms of our bills, not including the baby mama which I dont care for, I can hold us over for probably about 6 months. However, I REALLY dont want to do that.

Another major issue is that we just moved a friend of my brother into our house who recently lost their job. So now I have 2 people who live with me without a job who I have to probably support. My brother said he will take out a loan to pay the bills but who knows how that will turn out. The situation is VERY shitty. I cant imagine how things would be if I didnt prepare at all. We would be totally screwed

Do banks give loans to people with no income or collateral?

No idea honestly. I never had to get one.

This is precisely why I would never have a roommate.

No lie. I felt this way for a while. I need to make more money so I can 100% get out of this situation and be on my own. Relying only on myself and having major control over my life sounds amazing. When I think about it... Im 31 and Ive never actually lived alone. I really crave for that full freedom

Yes? I guess? Its complicated. Hopefully they will get their job back in a couple of weeks based on all the circumstances of the termination. If not, I guess they will look for work? I hope so. The faster they get a job the better.

Well it's awesome of you to let the friend live rent free, but don't let yourself get taken advantage of

I wasnt too worried about that until my brother lost his job. Now Im very concerned about that. This person doesnt seem like the type to do that based on my limited interactions but you can never know

That's good to hear! I know it's tough sometimes to set boundaries but hopefully you can make sure the friend knows what your expectations when he first moves in
