Create a budget that you can sustain.
Don't be afraid to ask for a raise.
Don't be ruled by guilt or any other emotion when you are asked to be in a wedding. baby shower, etc. Buy or make what you can afford.
Shop thrift stores in more expensive areas.
Learn to have fun on very little. If you have children start this young. There is nothing worse than entitlement.
Reallocate everything possible to things that bring you joy,
I found Louboutin pumps unworn on ThredUp for 185.00. I am a snob about shoes. My feet do not like the shoes that others have worn. I have worn them for 5 years.
Rural living means you pay more in other ways. Traveling to better stories and medical. I always pack water and lunch.
Product testing is an excellent way to have things you can't afford. O had sworn this off a few months ago. However, a shipment for a robo vaccum was too good to miss. Savings 400 dollars for a 65 second video saying if I like it.
Couponing is still a thing. Digital is way easier.
