I just turned 23 and am tired of where I'm at in my life. I've been working as a bartender since I was 19 and graduated with a film degree last year (with no luck of getting any permanent jobs in that field). I'm contantly worrying that I don't have money saved away, that I won't be paid enough to put anything away or that I won't have enough to spend on myself or be comfortbale with.
People I know have plenty in their savings and (before COVID) had the ability to put money down for things like a weekend away, going out, whatever. Even doing stupid things like buying something without considering if they can afford it or not.
Right now the steps I'm taking are; my friend recommended getting a well-paying job like his so I gave the agency my details and they'll contact me when something comes along, keep an eye out for jobs related to my degree, join mailing lists for jobs that would pay well, remember that because of the pandemic make sure any jobs that seem appealing are actually secure.
Any advice on how to stay sane and get started with becoming more financially dependent?
