If you're a minimum wage earner, the first thing to do is to figure out how much your living expenses are. That's what you need to know before you can start saving money.
Let's say that your living expenses average $1,000 a month and you're making minimum wage. That means that every month you have $100 left over after paying for your rent, food, and transportation. If you don't have any extra money left over, then it might be time to find a new job or apartment.
If you do have some extra cash left over each month, there are ways to save money on those leftover expenses! For example:
1. You could buy discount groceries at the supermarket instead of buying full-price items at the grocery store. This would save you money because they're cheaper than regular prices at other stores.
2. You could get rid of cable TV and watch DVDs instead! DVD rentals are cheap compared with cable channel subscriptions. And if someone in your house has an old TV that doesn't work anymore (or maybe just doesn't fit in their room anymore), then sell it online or give it away so someone else can use it instead!
