      How serious are you and how much sacrifice are you willing to make to limit spending? It can be done only if you are willing to change how you’re living, and view more things as luxeries, not mandatory for living life.

      Adjust lifestyle to cut out expenses like never eat out, get rid of cell service and change to online phone service, downsize things at home, try to take on extra work, learn a new skill you monetize or make life better, see about changing living arrangements or if there is anywhere cheaper to move, even if it means smaller. Get rid of paid streaming services.
