Does anyone have suggestions to help me get on a better budget? I always just skimming by. My card was declined today. I don't get paid till next week. I've been pulling out of my savings just to get by for gas...
I've found it easiest if I use a calendar book, highlight when I get paid, and write all my bills in for that month on the day they're due.
Idk if you're able to see what your check is before you get paid, but if so, I find it very helpful to add up all my finances due for that pay period and figure out ahead of time how much money I'll have.
Sometimes I'll pay only half of some certain bills that I can, (cell & car insurance) find out your grace periods if you have any type of loans.
Learn which bills can be moved around and which ones are definite must pay ones.
