CFPB expands oversight of digital payments services including Apple Pay and Cash App
I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Budgeting carefully with your $2,400 a month may help you make ends meet. Here are some suggestions:
1. Housing: Consider downsizing your home or relocating to a less expensive area where living costs are lower. This could save you a significant amount each month.
2. Food: Cook meals at home instead of eating out. This can be both healthier and cheaper.
3. Entertainment: Look for free or low-cost activities in your community, such as free concerts, lectures, or community events.
4. Health care: Check if you qualify for any Medicare or Medicaid programs that could help reduce your health care costs.
5. Transportation: Depending on your location, you might be able to take public transportation or join a carpool instead of maintaining a car.
6. Shop smart: Look out for sales and discounts, and consider buying secondhand when possible.
7. Utilities: Try to conserve utilities as much as possible, such as turning off lights when you’re not in the room and being mindful of your water usage.
Finally, try reaching out to local community organizations; they may have programs to provide financial help or other resources. You can also seek the advice of a financial advisor to help you plan your finances more effectively.
