Little story. I broke up with my ex about 2 years ago. Had to move back home with the folks to get back on my feet. My monthy expenses went WAY down. So, at 34 years old, i was in a similar situation your in now. I continued to treat my monthy finances as if i was i was in the same situation with my deadbeat ex. (IE, me paying for everything and the ex not pulling her weight). I took that money, and instead put it in savings.
When i moved out of my folks house and got back on my feet, i bought myself a 2003 ford ranger with 53K miles on it in cash, and still had money left in savings for a rainy day.
Save now.
