My mom gives me a 3,000 dollar allowance on top of rent and from there I'm supposed to pay for food bills and necessities. At the end of the month in only left with about 1,500 for myself if I scrape by with aldi foods and eating out less. I have no idea how you guys afford any of these designer clothes. I can barely buy a jacket on sale with 1500 let alone put an outfit together. What the hell.

Someone clue me in on your expenses and budget.

I'm in the same boat. My parents only give me 8,000 a month and after my apartment (NYC guy so I have to pay a lot for rent) I only have about ~3,000 dollars to myself, which usaully goes to partying.

My grandma died recently and I have a couple million in the bank, but it's really difficult to withdraw from that because I wont get a nest egg like this until my parents die. I don't really want to get a job right now, but I feel like maybe I should. Does anyone have any tips for saving money?

1. Your 60k = 5k/mo ignores taxes, which would reduce it to something closer to 3.5k/mo depending on how many tax grifts you're pulling off
2. it isn't about what a reasonable amount of income is, it's that op & the other poster don't work for this money. they are in no way "earning" 60k, they're just daddy's special little boy. Or, in the second poster's case, are vultures waiting for family members to die.

Then one day you will be getting ready for a job and you will notice the huge pile of cash you have saved up and you will realize that you don't actually have to work anymore.

Sandwich stuff, milk, juice, rice, beans, potatoes, yams, a whole chicken, bananas, oat meal, shit ton of eggs, yogurt, honey, coffee. Its enough to make quite a bit. I buy fresh produce and eat simply. Meat everyother day only cause its cheaper that way.
The rest is for booze, gas, dog food and the occasional weedz, oil change, or random whatever.

The fact that your parents give you that much money is fucking ridiculous. 1500?! You could buy an entire wardrobe with that amount of money. 2 jackets, 1 rain jacket, 3 hoodies, 5 T-shirt’s, and 5 pants is all you need. I would highly recommend having a sustainable wardrobe that will last you a long time instead of blowing your money. Brands I recommend are: Carhartt, Wrangler, Levi’s, Pro Club, L.L. Bean, Ralph Lauren (buy from outlets), Red Wing, Chippewa, Nike air max, converse. I can’t believe people waste so much on clothes. Workwear and classic garments/footwear will always look better.

What the fuck does “pedestrian” even mean? What’s wrong with looking like a pedestrian? We’re all every day people. I don’t see the need to dress like a movie star (ya know, people who can actually afford to waste money) and carhartt and redwing are in no way “soi” if you fucking work for a living. If wearing carhartt is a big deal you can de-stitch the logo. Focus less on the brands and more on the quality. What will last longer? Rick Owens, Versace, Gucci, Prada, etc. or a carhartt garment?
