<prompt> Human: Hi everyone. I graduated university in May and got a job in my field making 2k every two weeks. I live at home so my rent payment consists of giving my family 100month to help out. In the 4 months Ive been working, Ive managed to save a measly 350. My checking account is at 5 right now. Im so damn embarrassed and angry with myself. Mostly because I have no idea where nearly 3k is going every month. Somehow it feels relieving to write this out. I really dont know where to start with getting my finances in check. My expenses:Rent: 100Auto: 237 noteInsurance: 220Dental: 200 invisalignPhone: 105Parking: 75Gas: 120Discover and Cap1: 700My family has commented that I should have at minimum 6k in my savings. I dont. Someone be absolutely brutal on what my issue is and any good tips to get this under control.  <response>: The expenses you have listed only add up 1,760mo. This means that you should have over 2k extra per month. Where is this money going?Obviously it has to be going somewhere. Track all of your expenses for the month, down to the penny. Once you know where all your money is actually going, then you can do something about it. You can use services like Mint or YNAB to track your spending if you use cards frequently, but if you use cash youll have to do it manually. Once you do get that sorted, then we can give you further insight as to what fat you can trim.
