    Set up automatic bank transfers to chop your income into % parts: 5% play money, 20% savings, bills etc. do what works for you. Get rid of unnecessary subscriptions.

      I don’t have enough to chop my money into anything other than 75% rent, 20% car payment, 5% food for my dog.

      But I do put that rent and car payment in a savings account and pay from that. Those fractions of a penny per month add up; after 5 years I have 77 cents in my savings account!

        20% to a car payment is stupid

          Yes, the used car market is full of predators charging 200% more than what a junker is worth because there’s nothing stopping them. And I also agree that keeping the minimum wage literal decades behind productivity breeds an environment where people are assigned a made up number that tells banks it’s ok to gouge this person on interest rates. Full agreement with you there.

          It’s more expensive to move somewhere a car isn’t necessary.

              Have you seen the prices of used cars lately?

                  Dude you could have just answered “no, I haven’t seen the prices of used cars lately.”

        Hey, it’s your brother. Can I borrow 76 cents?

          Sure, since we’re under capitalism I’ll have to check your imaginary number and then require a minimum monthly payment of 11 cents for the next 4 years.
