Everybody's situation is different. :manny:

this. having 2K is decent, if u are


easily employable
fit
have seen other parts of the globe out of your continent
is HEALTHY (gumline, running stairs, boning :shaq2:)

Everyone's situation is different
Keeping ideas on how to earn more independently is better and keeps u on ur toes for the BIG DOE stream that youre looking for, imo :ld:

A lot of advice I'd gotten is to have 6mos salary in savings. That's not realistic in most cases but depending on where you live, in a high cost of living area shoot for 10k if u can. I live in alabama so 5k for me can stretch like 15k for others in more expensive places.

im debt, gotta get rid of that first :sadcam:

Breh u in line with most of america. Saving money is easier said than done. Start by saving small, even if it's $20 a month then you can gradually up what you save. I started like that and tried to forget I had that money, that way I wouldn't be tempted to spend it.

2/3 Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Most American's don't have a budget either.

A budget is you telling your money what to do instead of wondering where it went.

i know the meaning of that phrase. i often wonder where my money went even though i save a bit. i usually allow myself spending money and i typically blow all of it.

Don't save them, they don't want to be saved.

It depends on your own individual circumstances, but I would say you should have at least 6-12 months worth of money saved that will enable you to live decently if you were to lose your job or face some other similar event.

Having more is always a bonus though :yeshrug:
