<prompt> Human: So I am 24 years old and have 0 savings to begin the new year and honestly I thought that was pathetic and wanna get my finances or lack there of in order. I work full time and go to school. I make about 1700 - 1850 every month split up into 2 weeks. So far this year I have saved about 1000 which is only because I need a new car soon. My only expense is gas, phone and internet which comes to about 250 a month. I need to come up with about 1500 for school this September and I hope I can get my head out my ass to do so. I have no clue how to budget or save money. I spend money on anything that comes to mind and when I am bored or in a good mood i just spend away on anything. I have no self control and I wanna save at least 7000 by the end of the year and honestly I dont think that is possible.  <response>: You need to come up with 1500 in 7 months and have a surplus of 1600 per month and 1000 saved already? Cmon
