<prompt> Human: I bring home about 1,000 a month, sometimes a little more. Maybe another 100 or so. Rent and utitilies run me about 500. I have about 500 a month to pay back my debt, eat, have gas for my car, and Im a light cigarette smoker as well. Plus Id like to save some money if at all possible.I also essentially have a child my immature boyfriend constantly wanting and encouraging me to spend my money on things that arent necessary. We live together and during the semester he brings home around 200 a month. Ive discussed with him getting an additional job to help with bills. He would rather spend his money on dumb shit that isnt helpful to our home or relationship. I end up having to pay for his food, gas, and other needs.I owe 1,300 on my car. I bought it from a friend so there is no interest, and hes pretty lenient about my paying him back. I want to get it done a soon as possible though.Im back logged on bills about 500, between the different bills. Cable, electric, and gas. This is my biggest priority.I owe another friend 500 for paying for me to go to a music festival with him this summer.I need some help figuring out what I can do to ultimately make sure I make the most of the money I bring in every month that doesnt go directly to bills.I want to be able to start saving so I can move out of state.  <response>: I also essentially have a child my immature boyfriend constantly wanting and encouraging me to spend my money on things that arent necessary. ...

You cant afford someone whos just hanging around using you for your money. I owe another friend 500 for paying for me to go to a music festival with him this summer.Get into the mentality that if you dont have the cash for a 500 ticket to a music festival, that youre not going to go.
