Simply put: luck, consistency and saying no to expenses.
Basically do not live outside of your means. Tho those means can be very very bad.
If your means are bad - think of how you can change it better.
Maybe looking for a job where you can learn a new trade? Pluming, Ac repair, bug exterminator, general handyman, mechanic - those people will always be needed.
Tally up all your expenses, and get rid of those you can live without. All those premium streaming bs adds up fast.
Start cooking your coffe and meals.
If you are struggling then you have to live like a person who don’t have money. Get cheap phone plan, do not get the newest gadgets.
There is free entertainment out there, do not spend money that you don’t have.
Look for government options: food stamps etc. Look for other charities: food bank and so on.
It sucks. Luck plays a big part but if you keep following the rules you set up things could improve over time.
