"Everyone is broke in their twenties... and everyone hides from their bills." This is a quote from 2 Broke Girls that me and my flatmate use to help justify how bad we are at managing our money. We know we shouldn't buy that pizza, order that bottle of wine or shop for those shoes, but we do. I am weak willed and constantly avoiding checking my account so what should I change? What will I change? Probably nothing.

1. Prioritize/Getting Ready This step is important because it will help you build the desire and energy to actually get around and clean your room.

How to Save Money Being Low-Income
I need to get better at using coupons this year. Coupons are useful. I have no debt as a low-income person. Having a potluck at home can save money indefinitely. Although making enough food for a week can also save money. Food banks only help so much. I have breakfast for the next few weeks, as I have cut cereal from my diet since I need to lose weight by not snacking so much. In December, I was at 112 pounds. Now I’m 120. This is concerning me. My entertainment is Hulu and it only costs me $7.99 a month with commercials. I also have CBS All Access.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in LifehackHow to Save Money

Shows such as Blue Planet II have made it clear that our oceans are full of plastic, and it's time to do something about it. It's not until you think about plastic that you realise that almost everything you buy has some form of plastic on it that you're going to throw away. Your food has copious amounts of plastic surrounding it, your clothes have plastic tags, and that pair of scissors you bought is surrounded by tough plastic that actually requires another pair of scissors to open. This plastic often finds its way into the ocean and is damaging the delicate sea creatures, and it's damaging us. Even plastic you send for recycling isn't always reused as recycling is a hard service to offer consistently. Here are five simple ways that you can cut down your plastic usage.
Jane O'LearyPublished 6 years ago in LifehackEasy Tips To Keep Your Bedroom Clean
As you get older, your room starts to look messier. Many of us hoard so much junk that throwing any of it out is like throwing out a piece of our heart. From the clothes that we don't wear anymore to the stupid scrap we collected through the years that we should definitely toss out but we don't, this can cause our rooms to look very cluttered. Especially since we own so much, we're running out of room to store them all. So, what's our last resort? Just shove the garbage under our beds, stuff them in drawers, and leave the majority of them in the corners of our room so they're out of the way, but still there.
