<prompt> Human: Aside from the snarky Get a better job comments and the like. What should I be doing to get my finances in order?Last year my two jobs one as a private contractor gave me a total income of 22,500. My primary job, and only reliable source of income, pays 774 every two weeks or about 1548 a month.My current monthly expenses are: Rent: 350 living with parents and paying them Car: 350 for another 67 months Storage: 110 Student Loan: 125 Nelnet 17,000 left to pay Credit Card: 208 Min. Payment is only 51 but Im trying to get rid of the 1,700 and 24.9 APR Gas: 200 Mobile: 70 Car Insurance: 107Total monthly expenditures: 1520Obviously this doesnt leave anything for personal use. Which means the credit card gets used and the balance doesnt go down as fast as it should.EDIT: Thanks guys. Heres the deal with my parents. Theyre kind of like a money black hole. Combined they make about 60 or 70k a year but cant afford an 800 a month apartment. Several times the electricity has been shut off, even with my financial help, because they failed to make a payment. I dont know where the money goes. Fairly certain its not a drug habit.My vehicle is a 2007 Saturn Vue. It gets 22 mpg in the city Dallas. I bought it in November, sticker price 13,000, only 45,000 miles. Its the best vehicle Ive ever owned, considering my last three vehicles I paid cash and combined cost 3,000, each lasting an average of 12 months.  <response>: Whats the deal with the car? You are spending 657 or 42 of your take home pay on the car! Kill that with fire!
