    Yikes. Are you on student loans? Do you have any extra $$ from that? I would start saving up every penny if I were you.

    Sorry to hear that :( I totally understand the student budget too

    Please don't think of committing suicide. There is so much more to life out there.

    You could maybe room with someone who's willing to split the bills or try to cut down on your usage in certain areas.

    It's a crazy situation . . . I hope you get your way out of it bud.

    That's a lot of work.. anyway you can borrow some money from a relative? Last resort would be the bank because.. they have high interest.. which might make you into more debt :(

    $1700 for utilities? That's a lot. I'm in a 3000ft two story house and my utilities are less than 1/4 of that a month and that's with the A/C running. It's been hot lately in SoCal.

    Can you get another roommate in 2 weeks? Maybe they can pay two months in advance. That could buy you some time.

    Start selling the stuff you don't really need on Craigs List and Ebay. You have 2 weeks. Start today. Then, find a cheaper place to live, save every penny, and try to make some money online. Hell, I'd probably click my own adsense ads rather than live on the streets.

    Welcome to the real world, where you have to pay for what you use. Try to be more responsible next time.

    Maybe you should start working on it. The next thing you know, it'll double if you don't find a solution fast.

    How could it be possibly this much? Even for 3-months? Have you got a hydroponic setup or something?

    How come you got caught unaware of this? Didn't you knew you have to pay gas/electricity.
