And secondly, while I appreciate folks believe they should be entitled to live a certain lifestyle if they work in a certain job, the simple fact is that sometimes you’re not, and cost management can open a lot of opportunities to make free money simply by cutting costs that are lower priority than others. Anyways, sorry if I offended, but I do like to evangelize budgeting, as offensive as it may be.

This 100%
Doing a budget seems daunting, but once you settle into it it becomes so routine and easy you honestly almost forget about it. Except you don't forget about it, because the benefits (lack of anxiety!) become so clear that you start becoming enamored with it.
My wife and I LOVE our budget and talking about it. It's perverse on a surface level but damn.
Most people here very likely do not need to make more money. Some do, I am not discounting that, but most probably just need to be more realistic with what they're spending on.
