1. Cut your cloth according to your material.
Acknowledge the fact that you earn a low income, don’t spend above your means. Minimize your spending as much as possible. Bare in mind that your current status is only for a while, you will blow eventually. wink wink wink
2. Try as much as possible to ensure you do not spend too much on transportation.
Transportation as we all know takes up a great chunk of ones earnings most of the time. If possible find someone who owns a car and plies your office route, and tag along with them. You have to be jovial, and make them like you, so that you wont be a burden, but rather good company.
