I'm trying to get a handle on my finances and am having a hard time figuring out where to start.

The first step in getting your finances under control is to create a budget. You can do this by tracking your income, expenses, and savings goals. Once you have an idea of how much money you are bringing in each month, you can decide what to allocate towards essentials like rent and groceries and then set aside some for saving or investing. Make sure that the amount you’re spending on non-essential items stays within your budget and try to stick to it as closely as possible. Additionally, consider automating your savings so that a certain percentage of your income goes directly into a savings account each month. This will help you reach your financial goals more quickly.
