How To Manage Your Money thread

[Slow Motion]

I really wish i could find a job paying 14-17 dollars an hour. The one peice of advice i can give is to live like a college student. Don't spend money unless you absolutely have to. If its not a bill don't spend your money. Use a debit card instead of cash. Don't use your money to buy unecassary things. If it is not a need then don't buy it.

My friend told me this is what he did, every week/paycheck, like someone else also mentioned, just take out like $50, maybe $100, whatever you need for that upcoming week ( or two ) in cash, pocket it, and deposit the rest and not touch it.

Its going to be an interesting month to say the least. After I pay my insurance, and my last ticket, its game on
