First up: we state the obvious.

First, the most obvious way to save money; work. I work a job that earns me roughly $400 to $500 a week, with one hundred going to rent, and fifty to paying off my computer.
It’s safe to assume, that with those payments, I need to find an amount for luxuries, unexpected payments, and saving. Since I get paid fortnightly, and for the sake of underestimation, we’ll say I get paid $800, and after rent I end up with 500. Which…wow that’s a lot now I’ve written it and can see it.
So, with $500 to work with, I think we can assume that I should be able to save $200 a fortnight. This leaves me with $300 to work with for phone bills and random wants like alcohol.
Now it’s just a case of sticking with this.
