Then set a goal to get a job within that period of time. Discipline yourself not to spend on something unnecessary like eating on a restaurant, buying new clothes etc. If you think that your funds could not cover you for a specific period of time that you need to be able to get a new job, then, organize a garage sale. You might have to sell many of your possessions at the moment and remember that once you get a stable job you can buy whatever you like; but for the mean time you have to sacrifice to make ends meet.

Dispose of any "wants" portion of your money for now because the most important thing is for you to be able to save money while you are still looking for a job, expenditures for wants and luxury items can come later after you have found yourself a stable job. Know what's important and set your priority straight, it also helps to keep notes of what you plan to do during the day so that you will not lose track and do things that are unnecessary or out of place. Remember that you are on a very tight budget and you must learn how to discipline yourself so that you won't find yourself short on cash. First of all, learn how to budget your expenses.
