<prompt> Human: Using a throwaway account with username randomly generated by reddit. Here goes nothing.I just turned 30, and went from making about 22k to making 42k. I make about 2600 a month take-home and pay around 1600 for expenses, but thats with a budget that only counts bare-bones expenses and doesnt factor in vehicle maintenance, what I actually spend on groceries, doctor visits, eating out, etc. I have the following debts: 18k in car debt2k in personal debt3.5k in credit card debt2k in medical debt trying to get this reduced or waivedalso - not a debt per se, but I also help a disabled parent out with some expenses like extra food and necessities I have zero investments, and recently Ive been putting any money I get as a gift and any money I get from doing odd jobs for friends like dogbaby sitting into savings. So far, thats only about 500.Current goals: Buy a house in the next ten yearsHave a retirement planPay off all debt and keep it that wayIm prone to depressive episodes, so its been nearly impossible to budget. I dont have a way to stop myself from binge shopping when those happen, and I dont know how to budget around those. It also makes it hard to come up with a budget in the first place because of the guilt from those. Its also been a bit overwhelming trying to read up on things like investing. I have no idea where to start, or which would be best for me. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like Im way behind fiscally and I havent been able to get my shit together.  <response>: Sounds like you need to get your mental health under control first.You need a budget, but if you cant control your spending, its not worth anything to have a budget.
