<prompt> Human: 19M. Ever since I started paying auto-insurance couple months ago its hitting me how little I make and how little control I have over what I can spend my money on. I work 40 hour weeks for 10hr. Generally, I make 600-700 every other week. However, I have to pay a minimum of 100 a month to a college I attended for three days, 460 a month for my car insurance, 20 for my gym membership, 10 for Spotify, and 10 for movie pass. That wipes out half of my income for the month. I think one of my problems is poor budgetingtime management. Sometimes, I drain my account buying small things and I dont even realize it. So far, I have been able to pay off everything on time but I am slightly afraid that my account will go in the negatives by next week. I dont feel like I have many options to fix my situation. I cant get a new job because I am starting college this fall and this job lets me fix my hours. I wont have time in college to work a full-time job. I am also not willing to get an older model car that isnt a sports car, so the auto-insurance has to stick. I have to pay the college or I will risk getting bad credit. Spotify and MoviePass are insignificant. I have tried doing DoorDash on the side but I dont really feel like there is enough business in my area for DoorDash to be successful for me. I cant do Uber because my car is a 2 door. I hate asking advice when Im not willing to make certain changes in my life, but I will really try to be open towards you guyss opinions. How can I budget my expenses better or earn more money? Edit: Thank you all for the great advice! I am going to spend this month and next month looking for some cheaper cars. Hopefully I can just trade in my current car and get a low budget car. Ill also try and find a different insurance company if my rate is still high.  <response>: Your car is too expensive. Your feelings about what car you are willing to tolerate do not matter; it is too expensive and you cant afford it.Until you come to clarity of thought about what you can and cannot afford, you will be poor and you will feel short all the time.
