Hi everyone,
I’ve been really trying to budget lately and have been tracking my expenses. After calculating everything, I realize that after I pay all of my expenses [rent, bills, loans, credit card, gas], I only have about $104 left for the rest of the month. It’s better than nothing, but I really need to make this stretch and last. One of my loans will be paid off completely in September which will give me an additional $265. Up until then though, I only have $104 to use per month. I’m the only income earner for my apartment so this is literally all I have.
Please don’t judge me for my finances. I’m already hard enough on myself and really don’t want any extra criticism. I’ve done all I can to cut unnecessary expenses like eating out and streaming subscriptions. I’m also trying to donate plasma for extra case. How can I make this $104 work for a month with groceries or other budgeting expenses that may come up?
I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions like cheap meal ideas.
