<prompt> Human: I moved to a new city and was doing an internship where I barely made any money. I ended up racking up 12k in credit card debt in one year because I had no real income. Now I have job but I only make about 1600 a month. After bills and everything I have pretty much no money left over. Also recently my car has been giving me troubles. Its 10 years old and the mechanic said I need 3700 worth of work done in order to pass inspection. Im really at a loss of what to do. After paying bills and my credit card payment, student loans and what not Im at 0 if not negative. Im on a sinking ship and barely staying a float. I havent been able to drive my car for weeks and have been using Uber which is another thing I cant afford. Any advice would be great. Assistant: Can you post your full monthly budget?Human: I should probably make one. But my rent plus utilities is only about 700 a month.Cable and internet 60Student loans- 150Credit cards- 400And whatevers left usually goes to groceries. Also Ive been getting a ton of tickets because my car has expired inspection on it which is the reason Ive been keeping it parked. Ive probably paid about 100 a month on parking tickets. Assistant: Cut cable if possible. I find it to not be worth the extra out of pocket. Try to get on new member plan on internet only. Human: Agree, cable has to go. If this is your true budget, you have a lot of room to work with for groceries. What area of the country do you live in? I can feed myself on 160month and thats not really very frugal. I could get it down significantly.I also second that you probably need a second job. Once the credit cards are paid off, you will have a lot more room to work with.Is it possible to look for a job with higher income? I think the car inspection is the first thing you need to take care of. You can not afford the parking tickets.Assistant: I have thought about getting a new job after the summer or getting a second job as a bartender at a night club for the weekends. And one of my issues is I cant cool and dont really have the room to cook on my tiny apartment. Most of my stuff has to be microwaved and those microwave meals are kinda expensive.  <response>: You cant just say you cant cook, literally anyone can cook just watch a video online or follow a recipe. Might not be great at first but its easy and youll learn fast. If you want to save money this is an easy way, you just have to go ahead and do it
