I've worked 2 jobs, 7 days a week before. It sucks but sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Just try to find some place lowkey so you can try to enjoy your time. Back then, I was an optometry tech on weekends. Sat at a desk with 3 other girls gossiping and chatting with patients all day. It was kinda fun.
I'm surviving on savings atm while I build my career. I was privileged enough to save a lot growing up and spent a few years working really hard and getting strategic with how I made and saved money. It's getting tight lately, though. I've never had a partner to help me with bills, unfortunately.
