<prompt> Human: Im a little over a year out of college and Im realizing i have nothing saved. I live somewhat comfortably, but if any emergencies were to come up...Id be in a predicament. Right now Im freelancing in the TV industry and taking home about 600wk after taxes. I also have a part time job where I make about 250 every other week. My rent is 1,100monthStudent loans are 100monthUtilities are 70monthTransportation- I buy a weekly subway pass for 30weekI have a credit card with a balance of 1700 Im chipping away at with 25-40 payments each weekI get paid weekly on Thursdays and pay all of my bills immediately. Im comfortable with that. However, I always feel like from Monday-Thurs I have NO money. I want to start saving more money. Im really obsessed with travel, its the main reason Im carrying such a high CC balance right now. All I have saved is enough for 1 months rent and utilities. What are ways to set aside money for savings when living paycheck to paycheck like this?  <response>: Stop travelling until you pay off the CC and stash away a couple months of expenses ie: emergency fund. One oops and youll be hurting for a long time without something to fall back on.
