Anyone struggling in life financially?

Asked by Speedy90 (24points) April 23rd, 2018

Hey guys I’m 28, live with parents and having a pretty hard time with finances.

I’m currently working as a designer and making $600 a week. Well $320 after taxes and healthcare. I really wish i would have started working at an early age, like around 18. Would have saved a lot more money and most likely wouldn’t be in this situation.

I help my parents with rent and other things, which is one of the reasons I’m still living with them. I pay about 600 a month for rent. My brother who makes a lot more than me rarely gives money for rent which makes it harder for me. My other expenses include phone bills, transportation and food.My family and I went back home for my brothers wedding. The expenses for the whole trip took a huge toll on all of us financially. Which is a big reason why I’m giving my parents so much for rent.

Been working for about 3 years but have nothing saved. Since i hadn’t worked or made my own money, I spent allot of that money on things I always wanted to buy. I’m also paying back money to the IRS, just got on a payment plan for that.

Been trying to find a better job, but in NYC it’s super hard. So I’m thankful for the job l have now. To even save money with my current job, I would have to go on an extreme budget. Been trying to start a T Shirt business with a friend, but he’s making it real difficult. Right now I’m trying my best but it isn’t easy.
