<prompt> Human: Hi all,So I am newly single and previously did 5050 of bills with my partner. Basically, I want advice on how to not end up underwater financially because of this, and maybe afford a house in the next 5 years or, someday.- net monthly income is just under 2,500- student loan payment is 435.00month- no car payment, 70month in insurance- 50 cell phone bill might be able to get my parents to pay this for me for a little while- utilities average 70 for gas and electric- I currently have about 15,000 sitting in my bank account. Ive wanted to open up a savings account for the interest, but I am clueless as to where to put it.Rent in my area is kind of expensive, right now my 2 bedroom is about to go up to 725month. Most 1 bedrooms are just as, or more expensive. And of course, its a college town so many cheaper options were signed away months ago.Ive thought about donating plasma as a way to pay for my utilities, or an easy part time job on the weekends I am a teacher, so I am exhausted a lot of the time.I would greatly appreciate any tips or help or experiences anyone has.Assistant: Woah there, OP! Whats the problem? You are overreacting heavily. You have 15k in savings with an income large enough to pay for all your expenses. Youre clearly leaving out large amounts of expenses if you are considering donating blood.Human: Overreacting should be my middle name! My food averages around 100-150 per month... I try not to go out and eat too often, I only have a subscription to Netflix, and I forgot about my union dues, which are 70month.  <response>: You still have 925 remaining! I dont understand.. Also, I would put 10k in a Ally savings account and the other 5k in my retirement account or invest it.
