How to survive on an average salary without going crazy?

Living on an average salary is a reality for most people. Some manage to save money, while others don't make it to their next paycheck. If it seems like money disappears into thin air, let's figure out how to stay afloat and even improve your financial situation.

You seem to be working, but your salary melts like snow in spring. Why?
🔹 Prices rise faster than your salary (thanks, inflation!).
🔹 Loans, rent, utilities – half of your salary disappears immediately.
🔹 Spontaneous spending – buying unnecessary things "on sale," then not having enough for food.

1️⃣ Count every penny – no need for a notebook, just use an expense tracking app.
2️⃣ Don't fall for marketing – "30% off" doesn't mean you saved money if you don't need it.
3️⃣ Wait before buying – saw something cool? Wait 24 hours, maybe you'll be fine without it.
4️⃣ Pay off the most expensive loans – don't pay extra to the bank.
5️⃣ Save even small amounts – you'll thank yourself later.

💡 Improve your skills – IT, marketing, analytics are valued now. Online courses can help.
💡 Side jobs – evening freelancing, taxi driving, tutoring, social media sales.
💡 Ask for a raise – if you're a good specialist, argue why you should be paid more.
💡 Change jobs – sometimes it's better to move to a company with better conditions than wait for a promotion.

You can live on an average salary if you don't waste money and look for ways to earn more. The main thing is not to give up and not spend on nonsense. Small steps lead to big changes. 💪💸
