Im a college student so I know what he means luckily I have an athletic scholly so I use my scholly check for bills and other essentials such as rent, gas, car insurance etc... and I do little tiny hustles on the side such as tutoring, I tutor a 6th grader in spanish and I will do little computer projects for people who aren't as computer literate. This is all to make sure I have enough to cop the kicks I want, granted I have to pass on some but I do pretty well, So my advice to you is find a side hustle and work it till you can't work it anymore or start passing on some of the kicks you don't need as much!
