I'm a 21 year old senior in college (major: music) and I've never had a job in my life, and currently have less than $100 to my name. I live at home for absolutely free, and I don't have to pay rent, food, toiletries, etc. I know - I'm extremely privileged, but I can no longer sit on my ass and keep saving nothing. This is the time of my life to bust my ass and work hard, and to challenge myself, I want to see how much I can save in one year, and ideally, move out six months after graduation.
#1 on my list is to get a job ASAP this summer. I understand with no experience, it's going to be entry-level, but do you have any recommendations on a job that I can realistically get that pays a little more than minimum wage?
#2 - What complicates things is that during the school year, I work hard. Majoring in music is comparable to a STEM workload, and I go to school every day from about 8-5. Realistically, I can only work weekends during my school semesters. What job could work with that?
#3 - During this year, once I get income, the only thing I will need to pay is car insurance and personal expenses (which I'm going to keep super low).
#4 - I'm also investing in a lot of side hustles. I'm currently taking a TEFL course this summer so I can teach English (online) on the weekends, after school and earn more money.
With these in mind, how much could I truly save in a year and half; could it be anything close to what moving out costs?
I appreciate any cold, hard truths with some advice partnered with it.
Note: thanks to my college savings, I will have no student loan debt when I graduate.
