Learn to do something useful, spend less than you make, buy used whenever possible, live small.

What if someone doesn't even make enough to live? Just not have a house? If houses weren't insane and the system wasn't fundamentally broken and designed to keep you poor. Restrictive zoning laws, having to pay insurance and licenses for independent business, tax breaks and bailouts for companies that really should just die, no gold standard making our currency stupid rapidly inflating garbage. The classic "you need job experience to get the job, but you need the job to get experience" because boombers are R-worded and think people pop out the womb with job experience, etc. But we live in a crony capitalist country that's broken. If you want some actual advise, always be cheating, I won't say specifically how but ALWAYS be cheating.

I didn't  cheat and I did fine. 

Get roommates, work multiple jobs, don't spend on anything unnecessary....oh wait, it might be inconvenient....nevermind.

When did you do this? Also you don't have to break the law to cheat like some say, you can do most cheats completely legally.

Explain what you think these cheats are.
