How do you deal with being broke? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there's ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I'm legitimately fucked. I'm one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

For whatever it’s worth, I support your industrious approach

Thanks.

The way I see life is we are here by chance for a limited time. Imma do what I have to do survive, but not just survive but enjoy it too.

I have this view for all laws really. I don’t not kill people because it’s illegal, more I don’t want to kill people and if I did then still the cons far outweighs the pros. It’s just a matter of choosing where you draw the line.
