To put it simply my parents just aren’t great role models when it comes to budgeting, much less saving. They live paycheck to pay check, and spend money recklessly. I know this because I have compared my parents’ habits to those of people who are a bit better off (like the helpful advice people leave on this sub lol) We don’t live poorly, but definitely not comfortably. No savings, nothing for my future.
It’s just difficult, mainly because I don’t really know what to do with the money that I rarely get, other than spend it. I know to save about 20%? but I feel like I could do more. I just need advice for planning for what to do with my money before and when go to college and other expenses when I move out.
I don’t have a job currently, but I am planning on getting one. Also, I tried looking up money management videos on youtube, but I think that is geared more towards adults.
Just any tips or helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. I can also answer questions :)
EDIT: Oh my lord thank you all so so so so so much! I did not expect this in the SLIGHTEST! I posted this whilst on a road trip I was on, now I am on my way home. I will take time tonight to read every single comment and reply to more! I will update soon! (Also I am a girl lol)
