I make $15 an hour (and about 400/month in incentives) as a media consultant, which is considerably higher than most wages in my area. About 36-37k annually.
Since I’ve graduated, I’ve tried my hardest to keep expenses very low. I own my car outright, pay $30 for my phone, have been paying $350 for rent and utilities, etc.
I do have a couple more pricey outs every month:
Credit Card - $150.00
Insurance - $75.00
Student Loans - $650.00
Obviously, it’s the student loans that’re sabotaging my plans to live a functioning grown up life.
I’m staying with my parents for a month to put away some savings and pay down a little debt — paying just $200 in rent.
Am I making the right decision, and if so, is this enough time for me to prepare living by myself? How can I make the most of this time? Any tips you might have for me to optimize savings from only a couple paychecks?
