Alright here we go. I'm 19 and just got out of a 2 year relationship. (Cheating is real shitty ya'll.) Some background: I'm young and really stupid. I was giving him my whole paychecks and letting him decide where what goes and how much I get back. I have no idea where all my money went. Stupid, I know. Bills were always paid for and I was pretty much always broke, but with everything I needed.
I live in apartment where my share of the rent is 600 and my phone bill is 100. Going back home to family is unfortunately not an option.
I'm starting school soon and I need to figure out how I can save with what I have, and What I need to do. So far I have a minimum wage job ($10) with 30 hours a week. I was looking for other jobs but can't afford to not work until then so this will do. I plan on getting a second job so I'm at least hitting 50 hours a week. I'm making tips too, and all of that immediately goes to savings. Luckily my job is within walking distance so I'm going to do that instead of paying for parking and gas.
I'm going to pack lunches and snacks but in case I can't, my job offers 50% off and the sides are 3 bucks to begin with, so it's not that hard on my wallet. I have a roommate so groceries and other expenses will be split.
I feel like I need to be doing more. What can I do at 19?
