Regrettably yes. It's either get a job, invest in shares, play the lottery, or just plain choose another, if not cheaper, solution to your dilemma. Unfortunately that's the best that can be said, as others have pointed out more so, about a job, even a temporary/contract job through an agency that'll, like, sign you up to their books for free. If you have those.
If it helps, "CTB won't run away."
There's always options, there's always time, sometimes you even just have to consider your options and backup options.
