Living with people is difficult, it has its own challenges, but living with yourself is a whole different ball game. Today I wanted to talk about some things that I have been employing in my life to help me with financial independence. Saving money is super important! Hopefully I can help guide you into the right mindset for saving money, and getting on track. Being aware of you financial situation is also just as important as saving money is! You wont know how much you spend until you sit down and crunch some numbers. It's not as hard as it seems, you just have to be honest with yourself on what you spend, and what you need. Once those are out of the way, savings is automatic, even if it'  s only a few dollars at first. Last, but not least by any means, taking care of yourself. Living by yourself sounds super fun, and free! But who do you call when you need support? Realistically, you will be counting on yourself to make it through hard and strenuous times.
