<prompt> Human: I have an average of 1510 in expenses each month. I make on average 1746 per month. Here is a typical month in my expenses:Groceries: 241.44Fast food: 128.45Cat food: 79.75Gas: 31.47Other: 89.38Rent: 847.06I recently moved and my starting rent without utilities will be 800. I am also closer to my work, which should mean spending less on gas. I have plans on returning to school to get my four year degree. Right now I am making 14hr, but have a lot taken out for medical, dental, LI, etc. I currently do not pay for my auto insurance my parent does, and I will have to start paying that in a few months. I believe it is about 1500 per year. I am kind of freaking out how I can 1. pay for rent 2. save for college 3. pay for car insurance. and 4. still have money left over for food, gas, cat food, and fun. Do I need to find a second job, or a higher paying job? I currently work 40hrwk. Any advice on how to approach this?  <response>: There are two sides to this: cutting expenses and increasing income. Cutting expenses is simpler than increasing income.Some places that stick out to me catfood -- stop buying them the super deluxe food its not needed. fast food -- paying for someone else to cook food often is more expensive than doing it yourself. rEatCheapAndHealthy and rMealPrepSunday are great for getting those costs down.Beyond that, start tracking everything. There is still a lot of money not accounted for cell, utilities, etc. The wiki has budgeting tool or this could be as simple as a Google Sheets where you write everything down. Once you know exactly where the money goes, you can start to target waste areas.
