    Minimum wage in most of the USA is $7.25. Working 40 hours a week, 4 weeks of the month is $1160 dollars before taxes and all the other bullshit. Where exactly is that $500 to save coming from?

      Not having car payments:

      saving 500 a month that is less than an average payment leaves you with 7k for a better car.

    • Less than 1% of Americans make federal minimum wage. However, despite your dumb take on the amount of money Americans generally make, I strongly agree that saving $500 a month is a complete possibility for many working Americans

        I don’t see why they don’t just ask their parents for money?

        It’s like people don’t even know how to take care of themselves.
