First, there is no other place to sleep in Martinaise Proper than the Whirling. You can not sleep on the bench or in Cuno’s shack. You might find a place later, on the coast, but not on day 1 or 2. For now, paying for a night in the Whirling is the only way.
Here are some ways to earn money.
1. Go to Roy in the Pawn Shop and sell him some of your quest items.
2. Keep exploring and looking into containers. They often include money.
3. Joyce (on the pier) can give you money. You need to pass a Volition white check for this.
4. There is a locked container in the harbour that needs a Rhetoric check. I won’t spoil it further but there’s a chance to get money involved.
5. If it’s before 23.00, you can equip the yellow tare bag, collect tare and sell it in Fritte.
6. If it’s before 22.00, you can also pass a check with Siileng and ask for money.
7. If it’s 02.00 and everyone has gone to sleep, the streets are empty and you can’t do any -- or enough, at least, to pay Garte -- then congratulations: you are the hobocop now
The only way to get out of this jam is to load a save from earlier. At minimum before 02.00 -- when you can still sell Roy some of your stuff. And if you’re really straped for cash -- before 23.00 when Fritte is still open.
In general, around 19.00 – 22.00 is a good time to start worrying about making rent.

I'm not even stuck here, but, I'm going to join the chorus saying that for a game which is all about giving you multiple ways to progress, this oversight is flat-out bad design. There should be a last resort alternative.

Yeah, that brought my experience to a grinding halt – Kim was still with me at 2am and I couldn't afford a room, so I had to edit my save file to get the cash.

If I have to edit my save file to advance the game, your game is broken.

I'm all for consequences – so let me sleep on a bench like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bum.

I cannot sleep either, but I already paid for the room. Kim won't stop following me. It's 1am on the first day, when I try to click the bed it says no time to rest now. I think it's because I still didn't debrief him, but I don't see the dialogue option anymore.

Very poor design. They need to fix this ♥♥♥♥. I got stuck on 2.10 first day with 150 reals and an option to pay for the room dissapeared. And only way to proceed is to load and hours ago save? Hotfix this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Close your door, save the game, quit. Then load the game and click on the door and that should let you go in, Kim leaves, you go to sleep.

I'm day one and I planed to sleep outside, because I've done it IRL in winter, and that's not THAT difficult to do (just not comfortable and a bit chilly).
I agree, that's bad design. The game should give you alternatives and never, ever, soft-lock you.

Hasn't anyone of you spoken to Evrart? He gives you a 25$ cheque. Take it.

For the first night, sell Kim's stuff that he himself offers at the pawnshop.
Second night, use the money Evrart gives you.
On Wednesday, go and meet the old lady who can be found washing clothes to the southwest of Whirling after you open up the bridge. She gives you a place to stay for free, which should settle the matter once and for all.

And also pick up the plastic bag near the bookshop and use it to grab bottles and tare strewn all over the city. You can sell these at the Fritte.
There is just no need to edit any files and give yourself extra money.

Take money from a criminal ? No way.
It's a roleplaying game, we're supposed to be able to play however we want.

Don't say there are no alternatives then. It is not bad design at all. You are just choosing not to take it.
And like I've mentioned, you get a free place to stay from Wednesday onwards.
Also you find quite a bit of stuff to sell when you explore. I've made myself a fairly decent amount of money.

He offers that cheque to you to clear things up with Garte. It's still 25 if you see him on Day 1, when you have 130 Real in debt.

Not only is that a bribe, but such a comically small bribe that I found it offensive. It won't help on Day 1, and after that you should be able to cover the rest on your own.

Nope, I'll feel free to say that it is bad design because that's the truth. You don't get any kind of game over screen, the game is just stuck in an unwinnable state if you don't have the money on Day 2. (And no, I didn't have problems with money.)
