<prompt> Human: hi all. so i made a thread here this week asking what to do about this months overbudget nonsense. i decided to move things over to next months budget ie be underbuget next monthwell i crunched the numbers, and because of holidays, and the number of days im working next month, i simply wont have enough to make ends meet all all next month. not by a lot, about 100 dollars again, but still, its a problem.should i...1 Only pay my credit card minimum instead of the usual amount i put toward it. its a new card and has 0 APR.2 spend like normal, and put overbudget things toward august3 dip into my emergency fund i have 3.7k saved up 4 or something i dont know yeti know the most frugal of frugal will say just get another job or sell blood, but lets not go to that yet...  <response>: The best answer is to spend 100 less on flexible expenses. If you are honestly on a budget so barebones that you cant temporarily reduce your expenses 100 because you spend nothing on eating out, you are already living on lentils and oatmeal, you dont drive a car, you barely use your utilities, etc. then you need to be taking a hard look at your situation anyway and start making serious changes to your expenses and looking for a job with more income. Most people who dont already have things extremely fine-tuned can save 100 on gas, groceries and utilities by eating some PBJ, turning off the AC and walking to workshoppingappointments. It might not be pleasant, but its only a month.
