How do you deal with being broke? - Lemmy

I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

Back in my twenties we never went out, no cellphones, set goals, and did things cheaply.

Why even mention no cell phones?

In the 1700s they budgeted by not paying all electric bill! So frugal. 🤣

No one in western society can function or even have a job probably, without a cell phone in 2023

Cavemen had their focus on the grind because they didn’t watch tv.
