MONEY ISSUES, HELP!

How do I saw up money, if I'm spending MOST of my money a month on freggin bills? I'm trying to pay them off. So how can I pay off my bill and still have some money left over until I get paid again. It seems like bills just pile all upon me. Anyway, plus I'm trying to get married and have all my bills paid before I get married and have some money left over. Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

Hi Lilac - if you've sat down and done a written budget and have found that what you currently make barely covers your living expenses/bills, then the next logical step is to augment your income.

All my best,

Well actually I had MORE money until I purchased the SUV that I have now. The insurance is so high because of my age (22) and I have to still pay the insurance on my car, (I say with my parents by the way) and insurance on my truck. All this doctor bills, credit card bills, gas bill for the house, piano lesson, counseling for anxiety. So, that's basically where my expenses go. The wedding that I'm planning isn't very expensive. Maybe like 500$ in total including the honey moon but I'll be out of debt hopefully before then. It's just hard to do that with the income, and go figure, I work for the gov't, but thanks for your advice.

Hands down I would sell the car.
