Making Bread Before IB Internship

I got an SA 27 offer at a top MM but I’m currently flat broke. I didn’t really care about 26 Summer internships during recruiting but now I’m realizing that I’ll be spending the next year broke and jobless. What did y’all do the summer and school year before ur internship?
