<prompt> Human: Hi all,Im 24, living in the bay area in California. Recent graduate of a culinary school I realized I did NOT need at all, especially after it put me 30k in debt. Ive been trying my damnedest to pay every bill and loan payment I can, but Ive been struggling to keep up with everything and its starting to overwhelm me.Anyways, into the nitty-gritty.I love with my girlfriend, we pay roughly 1500 a month, usually evenly split. She sometimes cant pay her half due to work hours, etc so Ill pay the balance on that if its the case.We pay for electric, water, trash, and internet, totalling around 230ish a month, split againWe both work in 2 separate areas of the bay, and together probably spend almost 130 a week on gas.We both graduated from culinary school, so were obviously foodies and typically spend probably 300 to 400 in food a month. I know this is a lot for 2 people and due to the nature of my new job I have been eating at fast food places and stuff a lot more, so that number might even be higher. Any help in getting this number down is massively appreciated by both me and my waistline My new job is getting me roughly 2400 a month, and my girlfriends income is anywhere from 800-1400 a month.Ive currently got about 1500 set aside in savings, and that number has been slowly dwindling and its scaring the crap out of me.Any advice on saving, fixing, or helping me in my situation is sincerely appreciated. Thank you so much  <response>: 1500 230 130 400 2260 2400 800 3200The first thing Id do is figure out where the missing 940 is going every month. I mean, Im sure you have debt youre paying and oil changes and stuff. All that adds up. But looking back over the last 3 months of bank statements or tracking all spending for the next couple months will likely be big eye opener.
