<prompt> Human: What can one do to help with the desire to make money? The idea of money is debilitating, not having enough, unable to qualify for a high end job and get angry over the fact of how little money I have. Its shaping my life and taking hold of me. I want to buy a house, I want land and have a garden, but I dont see a path to get there. Unable to afford college and government assistance isnt available. I dont see a way out of a continuous failure to be financially secure when I unable to make the money to make it possible. I make 12 dollars an hour and dont get overtime. My monthly pay is about 1600 dollars, 800 goes to rent live in california and between groceries and gas I am only able to save enough to fix my car if it were to break down. Budgeting isnt much of an issue because I can afford the most basic needs. I am at my wits end and need advice on what I should do. I feel lost.  <response>: My monthly pay is about 1600 dollars, 800 goes to rent live in california and between groceries and gas I am only able to save enough to fix my car if it were to break down.

If budgeting wasnt an issue you wouldnt have needed to make this post, but you simply dont have enough money to go around so its time to make a budget and start trimming the fat
