<prompt> Human: First time poster here, and Im looking to get some advice.Im a senior at a public university in the U.S. and will be going on to Grad School after this year. Im from out of state, so Im paying a higher tuition than most people. For the last 3 years, Ive also had to fund my own education. Because of the tanked economy, my parents cant afford to pay for me and my two sisters to go to school so Ive had to take a large amount of student loans to fund my education.My parents never set up a trust fund or anything to help fund our education, and they didnt emphasize saving extensively while we were young to help pay for college education. Ive been able to get pretty good internships over the summers, but that income has gone towards living expenses rent, food, gas, etc. and havent been able to save much of it for living throughout the year. Ive also had a part time job for the past two years during school to have some sort of income to try and take a dent out of all my expenses.Overall, Ive got barely enough to pay for rent. I cant go to the grocery store to get food that often because I dont have enough money. Ive got about 1k for expenses, which seem to add up left and right. Overall, Im a very frugal person. I dont go out often maybe once a week compared to what seems like every night for most of my friends. I dont buy new things or get sucked in by impulse buys. And I do what I can to save wherever I can. But none of it really seems to work when I look at my empty bank account every month.Not really sure where Im going here, but do you guys have any advice of things that I could be doing to a minimize my expenses even further, b get a little extra income, or c do anything else that could help. I look forward to hearing your advice!  <response>: You could look to Craigslist for tutoring jobsmake a post yourself offering tutoring lessons.rfrugal and rbudgetfood can also help cut food and other costs. You can eat out less, or just not order when you do go out. Yes, its tacky, and you might feel a bit crappy, but you have to do what you have to do. It makes you appreciate what you have more when things improve.
