Mint is the best app for tracking everything I earn and spend. I have almost all my accounts connected (banks, credit cards, loans, investments, etc.). Everything updates automatically except for my crypto and one of retirement accounts which I update manually. It's also possible to make a budget but I don't follow it strictly. The most important thing is knowing how much money I'm bringing in and how I'm spending.

The thing you need to know about drug dealers is this. Theres always a structure. Theres always 20 addicts on the street selling to fund their own habit, and they deal with typically a middle man who doesnt work, probably doesnt do very many drugs but makes enough money to drive a used BMW without a license until he totals it and is in the hole for 5 grand, so he needs to work off his own debt to the government. Thats what mid lvl dealers look like. Above that guy is probably a more serious person, maybe its 2 levels above that guy but somewhere along the line some guys got a house in a fancy neighborhood with no furniture in it and a closet full of hundreds of thousands of dollars and of course drugs which you dont want. If someone kills one of these dealers nobody cares.

>How the fuck is the average person saving money in this dogshit economy

I'm trying to save just $1000 per month but it's hard. I make almost $22 per hour and work 40 hours per week. I also contribute 4% of pre-tax income to my company 401k which matches up to 4%. So, after taxes, and after my 401k, my paycheck is about $1,350 every two weeks. Ergo, I make about $2700 per month after everything is taken out. Here is my budget:

Income: 2700
Rent: $850
Utilities: 0 (all utilities included in my rent)
Internet: $40
Renter's insurance: $5
Amazon Prime: $15
Xbox Live: $15
Car Insurance: $40
Phone: 0 (on parents plan still somehow)
Gasoline: about $60 (WFH 1 tank per month or less)
Groceries/Food: $100 per week/400 per month (I know I could do better here)
Bars/Alcohol/Drugs: $200-250 per month (sometimes less)

After all of the above I still have $1000 left over, so I put that in my savings account if I don't buy any crypto or stocks. Luckily I live in the midwest and I am able to live close to downtown in a nicer neighborhood that is still urban but low crime and walkable (which also saves on gas). The sad thing here is that I actually got a good deal on my apartment. A few years ago I only paid 700 a month, now it's hard to find a place for much less than 900 or 1000, but I managed to do so in a good area.

Frankly I don't understand how richfags who make like 70-80k per year or more talk about how they can't save money. I live well, arguably lavishly, on my budget. I'll usually take a few trips per year to see concerts in other states and stuff.

I also only get my hair cut once every few years. I don't buy clothing, I just wear what my mom gets me at xmas and my bday. I dont buy video games, I have two games I've played for years that I enjoy (if I even play...I need to cancel xbox live)

No, it’s a 2019 outback. Needed a car right when the market started shitting itself in early 2021. .9% apr, have about $4k left on it. Felt like I could treat myself since I wasn’t paying city rent anymore. Don’t drive much since I wfh but also live rural so when I do drive it’s a long one, about $50-$100 of that is gas. Glad I bought then instead of 6 months ago though.

>drop the amazon prime and xbox live, not worth it. you'll be less inclined to buy shit off amazon without it too

That's half the problem, I really don't buy much stuff on Amazon. Most months I actually don't buy anything. But when I do, it is really nice to have it delivered quickly. Also I get Prime Video streaming with that, and slight discounts if I go to Whole Foods, and there's one right by my apartment, so I go there sometimes. Gotta stop though, it's too expensive. I could save on food if I wanted to.

Prime can absolutely be worth it if you have the credit card at 5% back. Any miscellaneous goods I buy are from Amazon and when I lived urban I got all my groceries delivered from them. You can actually be very frugal by shopping their sales and organizing a weekly meal plan. With that cc and spending habits I ended up with a few hundred dollars in rewards at the end of the year which covered a lot of Christmas expenses. Now considering the Costco card for similar reasons since I can’t get grocery rewards from that.

>Frankly I don't understand how richfags who make like 70-80k per year or more talk about how they can't save money. I live well, arguably lavishly, on my budget. I'll usually take a few trips per year to see concerts in other states and stuff.
It's unbelievable how wasteful one can become on a high income. I work in tech in the Bay Area where "TC" is king. Base salary around 200k but then stocks and bonus get me above 350k annualized. I used to live elsewhere and had a normal salary around 80k, so I know how to live cheap and save. My colleagues however are financially illiterate morons who consume all the latest tech bullshit, doordash everyday, and the rest goes to high rents or a mortgage (which is usually too much for them to afford, but they NEED that $2M+ Bay Area shitshack). Fact is if these retards didn't get those stocks vesting every quarter, they'd have no savings. And even then some of them just spend it all on new Teslas. This is the source of consumer and real estate inflation btw. These Bay Area fags are retards with too much money and desu it's a good thing my industry is imploding. I'll always be okay because I'm not a retard, but these other fuckers need to go.

It's one of the most interesting facets of crime, in general, intelligent people don't commit crime, why?
Because they can calculate the risk/reward of committing crime to acquire money versus just getting a job or excelling in a legal field.
It's why the police/detectives aren't the columbo-esque geniuses catching out criminals, the entire crime/policing system is a bunch of 100 I.Q normies catching 60 I.Q retarded crims.
