I have never lived on my own before and never learned about how to budget household items since someone else always did that for me.
Fast forward to today, I have a decent job, and my boyfriend pays for most of the household bills (mortgage, property taxes) because I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t actually own the house. Even though I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have too many bills I have been living paycheck to paycheck. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s always been a massive fight between us because he doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t understand where my money goes. I always insist he needs to give me more money for food and he never does. This has been going on for a year. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s been our major fight.
Anyway, I finally got fed up fighting with him, him not believing me and me spending all my money on food so I went through my bank account to see what I spent a month on groceries… its 700$ a month. My boyfriend has been giving me 200$ a month or less.
So…. Now I know why I am so broke…. Sad huh… anyway I need to buy cheaper stuff. This gourmet food every night isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t going to work anymore.
Please tell me your inexpensive, but yummy, recipes. Or any other advice on how to grocery shop while saving money. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m such a noob at this on my own stuff. I am tired of not have any money for myself. Its been making me depressed since i cant buy new cloths or anything pretty for myself so its been affecting me emotionally as well being so broke.
Thanks!
