How serious are you and how much sacrifice are you willing to make to limit spending? It can be done only if you are willing to change how you’re living, and view more things as luxeries, not mandatory for living life.
Adjust lifestyle to cut out expenses like never eat out, get rid of cell service and change to online phone service, downsize things at home, try to take on extra work, learn a new skill you monetize or make life better, see about changing living arrangements or if there is anywhere cheaper to move, even if it means smaller. Get rid of paid streaming services.
And what if you do all that and you still can’t make ends meet?
I’m not talking about me, but there’s a lot of people out there in this situation and I’m curious about what you would do.
Some people have had to skip one meal a day and not eat, also try applying for a second job or see if can work more hours at current job. Try to re-use things that might normally be thrown away. Eliminate all social spending and leisure spending, mean don’t spend money on anything that is not groceries for home, electricity, water, and transportation. Cut back to a single house phone or online service, cancel all cell services.
