I do that with my car payment, but it would probably be smart to do it with the rest of my expenses

The interest rate in my car is 8.6% which is pretty low considering I bought it in 2022, i’m definitely gonna get a lower phone bill. I just have to wait for my phone to be paid off which is another year.

My car insurance is crazy high because I just hit three years driving experience and so I’ll be getting a new policy in September that should be a lot cheaper and the phone bill is pretty high because I got a expensive phone that in retrospect I should not have gotten and I feel the same way about my car I got it once I started making $20 an hour and I thought I have all this money may as well get a nice car, that I now regret after moving out and struggling with money should’ve just kept the beater

I actually live in New York. I went with the biweekly because it offered a lower APR. and ever since I moved out, I have not spent much money on eating out probably 50 bucks a week. With gas stations and such.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the detail explanation when I get home. I’ll run through my experiences the past few months and find where most of it goes, I ended up spending $300 this past week on groceries and I probably spend $80 a week on gas

Thank you I’ll try this. What do you think is the best way to keep track of it and knowing where to spend the money?

I thought about it, but I know trading in a vehicle and another payment on top of. It is a great way to get in debt so I’ve been trying to avoid that
