<prompt> Human: So, this is my first job ever and I dont know what to do with the money. I live with my parents and I dont pay any bills. Soon it will be my first pay in the job. monthly Eventually I want to move out and live in a apartment. Im from South Korea.  <response>: Save enough to support yourself for a few months in case you lose your job or have a sudden large bill like a car repair or something. A good starting figure is 3 months of expenses including rent, but you should figure out what amount is comfortable to you and go with that.If youve never lived on your own before, be prepared to spend a lot of money when you first move out of your parents house. There will be many things you suddenly realize are missing, and they add up quickly. When I moved, I forgot about trash bins, soap, pots and pans, and all the staples from the kitchen - flour, sugar, spices, etc.In a more general sense, you should think about what is important to you and what isnt, and make sure your spending reflects that. I commute via mass transit and park on the street so a new car would be a waste of money to me. Someone who drives 2 hours each day could come to a different conclusion. Spend money on things that increase your quality of life - not stuff that will only take up space in your apartment.
