Save money living on your own at 23

Tips on how I save money living on my own. I have been living on my own since I was 22 realistically, and am now almost 26.

I am very lucky to have a job I love that makes consistent and decent money. As a young adult I love to travel, and have extra cash for myself. So I have chosen to get a second job that brings in sometimes an extra grand a month.

I’m a pretty low maintenanced person. I don’t get many things done for myself. Which saves me a ton of money for other things, like travel, my dog, my savings, rent, bills.
