Carmen lets us take a glimpse into her lifestyle and how they are managing this phase in their life. They may be “Young & Broke”, but they seem to have a pretty good handle on things so far. She also shares with us some great websites for freebies, DIY projects for the holidays, and a guide to living or visiting NYC’s Greenwich Village or surrounding neighborhoods.
Grafxnerd just graduated college, is currently working a job that gets him about $2200~ a month. A new job in two weeks will be putting him on a salary of 37k so roughly the same. He’s in need of some suggestions on how to handle his debt.
See how moneytruth has changed his life around in order to save some money. He started out making $1,583 after taxes. His top expenses were:
- Rent: $900
- Utilities: $450
- Credit cards: $325
And somehow he still spent $200+ on food a month; $400 plus on booze/entertainment – and $100 on transportation. See what some users suggested, as well as what actions he took to remedy the situation.
Have you or are you currently trying to become a financial adviser? Kevin71 is interviewing with different companies, and is finding the salary to be less than desirable. Do you have any opinions? TheTruth interviewed for it, but found that it wasn’t the job for him? Maybe you feel differently? Let us know!
If you have any questions of your own, please jump in anywhere!
