<prompt> Human: Hopefully this is in the right subreddit... I have recently past few months started working part-time, but I always seem to blow what money I earn. Its not usually large purchases, just 5 here, 10 there, but I end up broke by the end of every pay period. I always justify the purchases to myself, because its just a little bit. I want to be able to make larger, more meaningful purchases, but I never seem to manage the self-control to save enough. Any tipsadvice would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: Read the wiki on the sidebar. Step 1 is that you need a budget.
