To start, you want to be organized and to track where your money goes. you have to figure out how to optimize on what you spend on by foods, clothes, etc. understand your wants and needs and understand needs are more important than wants, take care of everything you need and use the rest of what you have on wants. It’s important to reduce your spending, and to have a goal and to set yourself a limit or a budget. If you have debt you need to use your money that you’ve saved into it because if you don’t pay it off it only gets worse for you to pay it off, if not in debt, save!
