I’m going to end up broke in a few months. Give me some tips on reducing the impact. What things can I do in advance? What are things I should know? Give me some financial advice too, if you can

    I’ve got wrid of my car. Saves me about 400 euros a month and I lost a fair bit of weight over cycling the past 5 years. I even save more time by not getting such in traffick than I’ve lost by being a bit less mobile.

    I don’t really agree to spending in cash. Social workers around here teach people how to work with budgeting apps. There are service that connecties to your bemank account to give you an in depth analyses of you spending.

    Preparing your own meals and fixing broken stuff are great advises that have saved me tons. If you can’t fix stuf by yourself you could reach out to repair cafés or likewise initiatives.

      A repair cafe?? Im not from the EU so I’m not familiar with the customs, but is it like a cafe with tools instead of food? Or is it like a community repair shop where people go to work on stuff?

      Edit: I normally would recommend choosing to bike or get rid of a car if OP wasn’t about to go broke and cars make for amazing shelter as long as you can maintain them.
