It’s relatively easy if you avoid a bunch of poverty traps like smoking and drinking, paying high interest on stuff you don’t need. Have good credit and use money wisely. Most people blow money on convenience or stuff to impress other people or fomo.

It’s easy when you actually have the money to put aside. I get the part where some people spend a lot of money on shit they don’t need, that’s true, but a lot more others don’t even have that money to spend. People are hardly able to live paycheck to paycheck paying for only the necessities.

There’s forums, websites, and apps where people post coupons and deals even for groceries. There’s local food banks if you’re not too proud to use them. You can buy necessities from FB marketplace, or join the free group for your area as you can make a reasonable ask for items. You can make extra money from selling items on eBay. I’ve personally sold free items for over $100 that way. Yes, it’s easy for me to say it, but I’ve lived it and these are the strategies I used when I was barely making $10/ hr adjusted to $15.56 today from 2007 and I was completely on my own back then.
