I'm 26 and have been working a job I despise for 5 years now because the pay is above average. I work 40 hours a week sometimes more but its slowly causing me to lose my mind. I want to save up to go to school, buy a better car and just feel more stable in my life but as it stands now I feel like that's impossible to do as I'm barely keeping my head above water.
I take home about 2600 and after rent and Bill's are all paid I only have about $300 kicking around if I'm lucky, but more often than not expenses always pop up.
I've been told to buy stocks but to me the stock market feels like a giant casino where the house always wins.
I've read the pinned guides but seeing as I'm not in any position to buy a house or have a kid they didnt help much
Please help me, I want to have a future outside of this dead end job
