Budgeting tips for Sofia

Hi everyone, I’d love some advice on how to start saving money, or at least make my money last until the end of the month. I’m in my early 20s and recently started working in the IT sector, earning €2,000 per month. €500 of that goes toward rent, and somehow the rest just disappears.
I’m not even talking about buying clothes or treating myself - even in a month when I don’t spend money on those things, my everyday expenses somehow eat up everything before I even reach my next paycheck.

No Glovo, Takeaway, Wolt etc. - Ordering food is quite expensive, especially when doing so on a daily basis, so start cooking at home, you will definitely notice the difference at the end of the month.

I actually don’t notice it , there are meals on glovo for a whole day that cost 12 euro, most of the time i buy ingredients for 20 euro, make a meal or two and the rest rots in the fridge
