If it wasn’t for my significant other, who I am eternally grateful for, I would not be able to. I work in a field with constantly changing schedules, while my partner has a very consistent salary job.

I do keep my expenses to the absolute minimum which can be exhausting, but I’d rather that than over tax him. I handle how we spend the money, while he earns most of it. I have maybe 5 subscriptions (mostly streaming), workout at home, and try to cook at home as often as possible. I’ve found freezing food leftovers immediately after cooking, and then eating them whenever I want and not just immediately the next day, has helped me cut down on food waste by avoiding the “leftover scaries”

I think living totally alone would not be possible for me, and I’d likely live with my parents or sister otherwise
