<prompt> Human: I am 27 years old, AutoCAD drafter, I make 500 per week,car note 366, insurance 170, live with mom, and I am tired of this. my dad told me just pay what you oweneed and put the rest in the bank.is that solid advice? I shop on amazon alot and I just dropped it, no more amazon lol.  <response>: You only list expenses of 536month, and if you make 2100month then you must have a really bad Amazon problem.If you want to be independent, then you should be saving most of your paycheck while living with your mom, since you do not mention having to pay rentutilitiesgroceriesor even gas. Figure out how much you would need to live on your own, and start saving at least that plus 10 in a bank account that you do not touch. That way when you do move out, you are already used to the standard of living you can afford.And when you start that you may find that spending more than 25 just on car expenses is simply too much and need to sell the car and get a cheaper car or use public transportbikewalk.
