<prompt> Human: Ive got rent and bills and whatnot. And I dont make a ton of money. I just want to be comfortable. I feel like its so hard to do nowadays. Looking for any advice I can get to help out with saving and maybe investing or advancing further in life please! Thanks!Edit: Im at a job making 11 an hour. Just got my first 30 days in and had a raise. Im doing well at my job.Say my take home is now 385 a week after taxes now. Multiply that by 4 to get my monthly income of 1540.As far as expenses:125 or more for credit card payments300 for rent35 for utilities82 for car insurance30 for Internet120 for gas200 for groceriesfood300 for Misc expensesIve got around 5000 in debt.Total: 1192 1540-1192348 left over to save for each month. Meaning thats not spending any money on anything that would be considered a luxury for me. Is that really how much money most people survive on?EDIT II: A lot of people have told me that I need to have direction in my life. Something to go towards. As far as business goes, Im told I could sell ice to an Eskimo. Im great with people. I actually really enjoy getting to hear different peoples stories. That being said, my true passion is entertainment. I love to make people laugh and to make music. Ive recorded some songs already and Im working on releasing an album. But again, thats just more money investing into something that might not work out. Though Id rather try than to wake up in 30 years and wish I had tried.  <response>: 348 1540 22First off, you should feel good about that 22 savings rate especially considering how hard it is to have any savings at 11 hr while paying rent other living expenses.Paying down your 5k debt would be a good thing. I think your best strategy is to seek out higher-paying employment opportunities. If further education is required, balance the cost of education training certifications against what a realistic and in-demand job requiring those skills would pay.
