<prompt> Human: So Ive been focusing hard on my finances recently, and Ive been using Mint as a great resource to locate where my money is going, and where to cut it. Ive reached a point where I dont know where I can continue to cut and still maintain a comfortableaffordable living balance.Some personal information: 25 years old, living alone in a 1br Rent 725 until February. I work two jobs, 55 hours per week. Gross income is 37k from job 1, 5k from job 2. Job 2s income goes into investments, so lets just consider my primary job to be my only source of active income.All figures are from the 9-month period November 2012 - July 2013. You can assume these numbers to be accurate and comprehensive; the only exceptions would be if I paid for something up front and was paid back in cash later, such as for baseball tickets.Expense Description Total Average:--:----:--:Home Rent, furnishings, etc. 6,726.49 747.39 AutoTransport Gas, tickets, ez-pass, public transportation, repairsmaintenance 2,340.87 260.10 FoodDining Groceries, restaurants 2,233.49 248.17 Shopping Electronics, clothing, misc. 1,433.89 159.32 BillsUtilities Electric, gas, internetcable, cell phone 1,351.82 150.20 Education Student Loan 185 flat 1,290.00 143.33 Entertainment Videoboard games, DVDs, sporting events, museums, etc. 850.99 94.55 GiftsDonations Christmas, alcohol gifts 569.51 63.28 Financial Tax Accountant 140.00 15.56 Travel Airfare, hotels 117.00 13.00 HealthFitness Doctor, dentist, cold medicationprescriptions 116.00 12.89 Personal Care Haircuts 49.00 5.44 Taxes Tax return StateFederal 1,272.00 141.33Total 15,947.06 1,771.90Some thoughts and comments:- I live in a state that has incredibly high auto insurance, and am on a family plan to try and mitigate the cost as much as possible.- Auto includes 180 for a parking ticket driving on my cell phone. I spend about 150month on gasoline.- Food bill is way too high, and Ive cut it considerably in the last two months. The average was over 275 in May.- About 1000 of Shopping was on a new computer in June, so that 160 average is misleading.- This is mostly forward-looking, since I can cut in some places food, bills, only to have them raise in places beyond my control rent, bills. One thing I worry about is my health insurance, which, thanks to ACA, I dont have to personally obtain until next January after I turn 26. The plan at my job for 2013 currently costs 135018002500 annually, including vision and dental. I expect those numbers to increase substantially for 2014, and I expect my annual raise and bonus to cover at least the HDHP or intermediate plans.I dont think Im doing this -wrong-, but I hope that a fresh perspective may help me out. Where should I go from here?  <response>: 1800 of expenses on 3k of income is pretty, good honestly, and I dont see any line items that look high. I do my own taxes most years, and only get outside help when my tax situation changes significantly. If you still want to save more, Id look into rent, insurance, and income, which might mean re-locating.
