Order your expenses and cut away at the bottom, if you don't make enough. That's excellent advice!

For instance, i setup 3 'savings' accounts with my bank. using my online banking, i setup auto transfers each month into each account. one is my rainy day savings account. i put $150 every other week into this one. This is my buffer account. if something happens, car breaks down, i get seriously ill and can't work, etc, i know i have a buffer to work from. Another account is my Travel account. i put $25/month in here. so by Christmas, i'll have enough saved up to buy a plane ticket home. The third is my tax savings account. Since i'm 1099, i have to put away my own taxes. This way, i'm not caught April 15th trying to scrounge up thousands of dollars to pay Uncle Sam. auto saving has netted me a nice little buffer and a pretty decent travel account. most bank accounts will also let you setup auto transfers into a separate account, so you can automatically save money without having to think about it. when you pay yourself first, you tend to save much more than when you don’t.

Luckily at the moment I'm still living with my parents so if I don't make money at least I still have somewhere to live, but I'm going to start to get into the habits that you suggested so when the time comes in a few months I'll be ready to move out and won't be completely panicked with money worries.
