I'm currently twenty years old, living at home with my mother and older brother, I have a lot of things that are actually my own that I've worked hard for and bought without any help. I feel proud of myself now, but I feel like its time to leave the comfort of the nest and grow up a bit more.
My income is about $410 every two weeks. So I'm making about $820 a month.
Now if we subtract my expenses...
Car Payment - $200/month
Car Insurance - $200/month
Phone Bill - $80/month
That leaves about $340 left a month right now, a potential roommate and myself want to get a place that would be about $600 rent split right down the middle at $300 a piece.
The thing is... I know that $40 a month left over isn't even enough to cover utilities, let alone food, and enjoyment money, and that's not even mentioning SAVING some money...
I need some advice, I need a way to reduce my current expenses, or gain more income, I'll be taking out student loans very soon probably, I could always take out a bit extra, but again, that's not a stable source of income, and the money will deplete itself, and I'll feel lost once it's goine.
