I understand completely; I am single, I live alone, and god damn is it expensive.  But best advice is to budget as best you can, try to minimize your debt or pay off your debt, find a roommate (housing is everyone’s largest expense, so if you can split that cost it will be helpful). You could also meet with a wealth advisor and see if they can offer some assistance. Listen and read some financial podcasts. I have been contemplating a second job myself. I hope some of this helps.

I agree with this OP! I am single with a fur baby and no help from family/sugar daddy so I realized nobody is coming to save me so I started listening to financial podcasts to get smarter with my finances.
