You can get a personal loan for ~10%. Pay it off ASAP and don’t go crazy with it
Sell anything you don't need. branded clothing, unused electronics, your car, etc.
Reduce the goals you had. Instead of living alone, look for room mates, look to reduce any moving related costs.
All you initially need would be clothes to wear and a tooth brush.
I'd take a loan like the first poster said. You can also muster some cash through tutoring / paid interview prep, getting some sort of part-time job for 4-6 weeks, etc.
I've been in this exact position but with no option for help from parents. Sold my xbox, watch, sports equipment, and eventually car. I was considering a personal loan but went with opening whatever credit card I could. By the time I got settled my credit score was ~500. That sucked, but once paychecks come in, and you learn the credit score game, you can raise that fairly quickly.
Oddly enough (and with the benefit of knowing it worked out), I've romanticized those times. The stress, uncertainty, and running around a million miles an hour trying to find footing establishes a level of resilience that many of your peers won't have. Best of luck and hoping you'll have a similar experience.
well that’s mad unfortunate bruv
