<prompt> Human: Me and my gf have been thru a lot and made a lot of terrible decisions and we are suffering the consequences of those choices. Here is the situation:We have no savings or bank account even at the moment. No debt. Not bad credit just no credit really.We just moved back to our adopted home in the big easy and immediately I got a security guard job and I got her hired on with me. So we both have full time, 36-40 hours a week but at 9hr. I have a side gig or two where I can generate up to a couple hundred a week but its not stablebut generally consistent.We pay 150 a week in rent. Have a 50 a month cell bill. So 650month so far in bills.Im already getting frustrated just starting to type this out because it reminds me I need a phone and then all the other things we need and what the priorities are.At the end of the day we just want a one bedroom rental apartment of our own. We both have never had a lease or light bill in our name so we can get something...Im just not sure how to start the budgeting process and frankly we suck at savings Im just not sure where to start considering the hole we are in.Is first step get a bank acct so we can have a better tool to view or progress? What in your opinion is more important when prioritizing what to spend on and what to save.Basically reddit where would you start? Simple budget? List of needs and then pick what can wait and what cant and just pinch every extra penny?  <response>: 36-40 hours a week but at 9hr.Id be targeting 55-60 hoursweek at 15hour, which is the minimum, for example, Amazon pays for its 350,000 full time, part time, and seasonal employees at many locations around the country. Move where the good paying jobs are.
