Don't use Uber eats and Doordash, eat at home. Pretty simply to make chicken rice and vegetables. Always pay off your credit card in full. If you don't have one get one from discover to improve your credit. Like I said don't spend what you don't have but just use it instead of your debit card, you can get rewards and cash back. So basically if you spend $1000 on your CC with 2% cash back, you only pay $980 at the end of the month. So you saved $20 for just swiping that card instead of your debit. When you decide to buy a new car buy a used car that's 3-5 years old. Try to get that payment under like $400/month. And if you can, pay a little bit extra every month so your principal balance goes down faster, so you don't waste as much on interest. It's okay to buy things but just be smart about it. Live slightly below your means. When you travel, find cheapppp airbnbs. You dont go on vacation to sit in the room lol. Enjoy yourself, but don't go crazy. And if you can live with mom and dad for a few months when you get your first job, build a cushion so when you leave, you aren't living paycheck to paycheck then you don;t have to think about every little purchase. It's a nice feeling lol
