$155 seems high for phones. Are you on a plan with Verizon/ATT/Sprint? If so, you could look into switching to one of the cheaper/prepaid plans (straight talk, etc). Be careful if breaking your contract will result in fees, though. If you need to buy a slow cooker, check for them at goodwill/salvation army/thrift stores. Lots of times, you can find brand new ones in the box that work fine for much cheaper than elsewhere. What is your degree in? What job skills do you have? Even if it isn't your field, if you have some basic IT skills, you might try applying with geek squad or other computer janitor places. Also check out the Legitimate Online Moneymaking thread here in BFC, which might give you some ideas of things you can do until you can get a job in your field. Erotic romance writing, I've heard, can be particularly lucrative. Also stop buying steam games, either play what you have or get free ones/demos.

ETA: Have you been applying for things on USAJobs? As a disabled vet, you'll get additional preference points that can help jump-start you into a career. Also, check to see if there are Military/Veteran-only job fairs in your area. Being able to present yourself to hiring managers helps a lot in getting past the phone-screen stage. Also, does your former college have a career services department? If so, connect with them and see if they have resources that can help you. Most schools provide career services to graduates for a year or so after they graduate.
